The limitations on religious freedom in the United States, and in the
Western world in general, only exclude activities which are criminal
in the ordinary sense.
In China, religous organizations are tightly controlled, because the
government there is a dictator****p that fears any private organization
that might organize people against injustice.
The United States would be like China if it had executed Martin Luther
King as a foreign spy trying to divide the country.
