Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asserted on Sunday that Americans did not have Constitutional rights preventing religion from being imposed upon them.

During a Fox News Sunday discussion about recent baptisms of students at Auburn University, co-host Pete Hegseth reported that the Freedom From Religion group was behind a lawsuit against the university.

"It's not in the constitution!" Campos-Duffy interrupted.

"As Rachel points out, it's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion," Hegseth agreed. "So they're an anti-faith, anti-Christian group."

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says "that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise," according to the White House website.

They're two separate concepts. One is sharing the gospel, basically recruiting. The other is practicing your own faith, which should be done with modesty, in private. We've all seen the people who loudly pray about everything and want to show everyone how godly they are. Jesus said that they've already received their rewards, since their goal is to impress people, not have a relationship with God. God recognizes their falseness.

God recognizes their falseness.

Out of curiosity, how does a figment of people's imagination do that?
