My freedom to speak my religious conviction cannot be silenced any more than your nonreligious voice.. or other-religious voices.

Absolutely. I wouldn't have it any other way.

But this was an official government function, and that was a government stage (so to speak). So there should have been no sermon (or other religious talk) of any religion by a religious official. Certainly, the POTUS (or any other speaker) can speak their minds. But a representative of a religion (which a reverend is) shouldn't be allowed.

Just as there should be no national xmas tree (unless you want also a minorah, a statue of Baphamet, and a bunch of other stuff). It may be considered a small thing, but it's still inappropriate. And getting a foot in the door.
