The First Amendment gives people the right to distribute religious information

[Guest Kurt]

Today it's annoying when religious groups try to give us their materials while we're rushing through busy public places. But think back to a time and place when laws did not allow distribution of such materials. The First Amendment gives people the right to distribute religious information, just like the folks depicted in this picture.
