Should anyone be allowed to try to convince others into a belief? Even if it's not directly telling them what is right / wrong, or forcing morals and ideals on them. In the same way where religious persecution is wrong, persecution because of a lack of religion should be wrong as well. In that case, what counts as persecution? Is it only the threat of death, or can prevention of employment (e.g. by institutions run by religious groups), or being told you are immoral / sinful / on a pathway to hell count as well?

or:Evangelism would fall under Freedom-of-Speech and freedom-of-religion in the United States. To not allow that would be attacking the very things our country was founded on.Not hiring an individual by a religious institution like a church or a school etc. falls under the \"ministerial exemption\" category of the law. Ministerial Exemption protects the right of religious institutions to choose who they wish to hire as their religious leaders, weather it be teachers, pastors, elders and even office employees. They have the religious right to deny employment of people who do not share their believes or worldview. The most important question that has come up which is actually the real question is, should the government be allowed to decide which employee duties are religious and which are not?This also raises a personal question from myself... why would you want to seek employment at an institution, weather it's Christian, Catholic or Mormon etc. if you are someone who does not share the same worldview?
