>What some people seem to forget is that the first amendment guarantees freedom OF religion and not freedom FROM religion.

It's a little more complicated than that.
There are two clauses in the first amendment that deal with religion.
The so-called "establishment clause" says that the government will not establish a religion.
The so-called "free exercise clause" guarantees the right of individuals to exercise religious beliefs.

In the Oklahoma case, the establishment clause seems to be the issue.
