I see no reason to hate someone because of his or her religion. Throughout history, millions of people have died in wars started because the other side worshipped a different god . . . or the same god in a different way. Next time you go to church, Joe, ask the preacher if you're supposed to hate your Muslim neighbors. Or your Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Hindu, atheist, whatever else neighbors.

Hate is not the thought we should keep in mind on the day we celebrate the anniversary of this great republic, which is founded on freedom of religion.
