WT made a similar complaint when I started a thread to discuss his supposed scientific evidence against evolution.
There is no obligation on WT to participate in the thread if he doesn't want to, despite his aspertions of blackmail. It only raises the question of why he would not if he has expressed an opinion on the issue previously. But I'm sure sensible contributions can be made by others without WT. Sometimes WT can be a little precious.
It might be interesting to differentiate between societies such as the US which has constitutional freedom of religion but in practice has pervasive religiosity and other societies such as UK which does not necessarily have the same constitutional freedom but in practice is a more secular society. Which scenarios would you prefer to live in?

Back on track?
I sthere any prospect of addressing the issues raised in the original post or to the somewhat related question, although more encompassing than the Americocentric focus of the initial post, which I raised in message #9?

Which religion?
Perhaps, if WT ever chooses to specify which religious freedoms are being eroded, he could also detail whether this is affecting all religions equally or whether it is discrimatory to protestantism, catholicisn, islam, hinduism or any other.
