    You’re also missing the forest through the trees.

    This is the sort of thing someone says when they really don’t know what to say but want to sound like they have Very Profound Thoughts.

      Okay, since you need it spelled out… France may not have appropriately applied its freedom from religion, but that isn’t the point. The point is a country like France doesn’t just have freedom from a religious state, but also extends that further, and that’s the part we (the US) are missing. You got hung up on the detail instead of paying attention to the meaning I was conveying, hence missing the forest through the trees. There is nothing profound about it at all, just saying you’re looking far too deeply instead of looking at the bigger picture of what was said.

        Ima thinking what we have here is a failure to communicate, not so much a failure to understand.

        Then it sounds like they don’t have freedom from religion or freedom of religion. So I still don’t get what you think the issue is.

          I don’t have the patience to hold your hand and explain what an example is. Good luck with figuring things out in life.

            As if a country not having FfR or FoR is a useful “example” here.

                  It helps if you’re my target audience. That’s people who know what an example is.
