You asked if the LDS Church had to pay a fine in California. They did because they didnt report their contribution to the political campaign. They didnt have to pay a fine because they couldnt talk about the issues. They had to pay a fine for failing to file a disclosure form. Huge difference.

Ok, show me the supreme court case that says people dont have the right to talk about their religion in the United States. Go ahead. Because what you did was show a court case saying people cant make unlimited political donations. That isnt the same thing and you should know that.

No. You just used the fallacy of equivocation. You used 2 different definitions for what "speech" is then used them interchangeably as if there was no difference. Obviously, what I was referring to is a persons right to talk freely about their religious and political beliefs. That is covered by the 1st amendment.

Subway isnt a political organization. By your view of "political" it would make everything a political organization. That is non sense. The customer is the person engaging in politics in my example.

No. You missed the point of the 1st amendment to the constitution. You cant just call someones religion a "political issue" then demand that they are no longer allowed to talk about their beliefs because they are now "political." The 1st amendment gives the highest protection to religious speech.
