Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asserted on Sunday that Americans did not have Constitutional rights preventing religion from being imposed upon them.

During a Fox News Sunday discussion about recent baptisms of students at Auburn University, co-host Pete Hegseth reported that the Freedom From Religion group was behind a lawsuit against the university.

"It's not in the constitution!" Campos-Duffy interrupted.

"As Rachel points out, it's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion," Hegseth agreed. "So they're an anti-faith, anti-Christian group."

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says "that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise," according to the White House website.

Treaty of Tripoli, 1797, Article 11 states:

As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion

That, to christianists (as opposed to the seemingly few Christians who actually read their own holy book and know it says to keep your faith to yourself), means the opposite of what it says. They're deeply stupid people.

They are not deeply stupid. They are deeply dishonest.
