>> church and state. that's our show tonight. and now, john stossel. >> religious oppression was a big reason many of our ancestors came to america. the king of england wanted everybody to worship his way. when america's founders wrote the bill of rights, they were quick to protect religious freedom. i think of it protecting free speech. free speech comes after that. so religious freedom has been a big deal in this country and yet, as our government grows and extends its tentacles into every cranny of life, government has increasingly infringed on some people's religious choices.
