Do you agree with what Romney said? That freedom requires religion?

I think that quote (from 2007) is way over the line. Freedom requires religion about as much as republicans require Barack Obama. Religion is the total opposite of freedom; that's the deal! Your faith means you give up your freedom. You are to submit and obey and not to ask questions with the threat of hell forever lingering over your head. Everything you do is potentially a sin. Religion is currently the reason why state senators in New York are wondering if they can pass a gay marriage law. If America is truly the land of the free, then no one would be imposing their religion as a reason to say no to somebody else. So why exactly does freedom require religion?
