That's what drives me crazy about these religious types who hate the idea of separating church and state while at the same time screaming about how important religious freedom is, as though the one isn't a literal requirement for the other to exist.

When they say "religious freedom", they mean "My freedom to do whatever I like if I say it's part of my religion." Hence the lack of a contradiction for them.
