I Say We Egg the Chicken

There are two primary components to religion: rituals and beliefs. The freedom to practice the rituals of a religion; to hold a set of religious beliefs; and to live and act in accordance with those beliefs is more critical to freedom of religion than is the freedom to express publicly a set of religious beliefs. I will allow that the line is somewhat blurred when a religion has an evangelistic element because evangelism requires an expression of religious belief, but this is because expression and practice become one and the same, not because religious expression has supplanted religious practice in importance.
