You want it both ways:
You first say that "I should be able to express by religious views anywhere, have the ability to pray wherever etc"

But then you say "I should be able to live my beliefs without others trying to force their beliefs on me."

So you think that you should be able to express YOUR beliefs however/whenever you feel but that others that don't share your beliefs shouldn't be able to?
I agree with you in a way. The problem is that each side wants its way without having to give the other side theirs too. There will always be laws/people/opposing views that place constraints on me. The only thing that gives me the freedom to speak openly anywhere about my faith with you is that you have the freedom to tell me to stop trying to force my beliefs on you.

The rights of the people who disagree with you are what guarantees your own rights. Did I make any sense? I've been awake for a very long time...
