When dealing with issues that pertain to people 's beliefs and faith , one has to tread with caution . Although there is religious liberty , one has to be careful about religious issues when it comes to public places . For one , I believe that religion is a personal thing and restrain should be put on it when we come to a place where other people that are not of the same religious belief are .
