In the end, they are really the same thing.  You don't get freedom to enjoy
your religion without the freedom from mine.

Far too many religious people don't understand this.  But of course many
of the people who founded the country were Puritans who moved to Holland to
enjoy religious freedom and discovered that they didn't actually want 
religious freedom at all, so long as it meant freedom for others as well.

So they took themselves to America.
