Are you suggesting that you don't believe in the right to freedom from worship? Just as you have the freedom to follow and practice any religion, shouldn't others also be guaranteed the freedom FROM your religious practices and laws? If you agree that no one should be enforced to abide by the personal beliefs of others, then surely you DO believe in the freedom from religion just as much as the freedom of religion, right..?

Secondly, if you think there's a private way of doing public programs better, then you've already completely misunderstood the entire point of public programs. Public programs are meant to provide for the publicRead more, whereas any private system is meant to make a profit, and these two things are diametrically opposed. A public program is meant to provide access for all people, regardless of wealth, ability, intention, etc...whereas a private system provides for those who can afford their private services. Free public transportation will always be a superior system to private for-profit transit, free public healthcare will always be a superior system to private for-profit healthcare, free public housing will always be a superior system to private for-profit landlording, etc. Publicly-owned and accountable systems will always be superior to privately-owned and unaccountable ones, because the goal is accessibility and provision for all of the public. If your primary goal is simply to make profit, then private systems excel at that, yes...but again, that is a blatantly anti-democratic and anti-public means of organizing society.
