A recent article about local religious leaders tackling America’s oldest debate sparked a response from a Thousand Oaks resident, who shared thoughts on the importance of respecting the rights of those who do not wish to share in someone’s faith.

The resident, Dave Dolnick, quoted Frank Zappa, saying, “Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I’m concerned—I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture, or necrodestination.” This quote highlights the need for mutual respect and understanding in the discussion of church and state.
