The issue isn't with having the freedom to believe in things. Believe in whatever you want. His point was against proclamations, which are different than personal views. Proclamations enter the personal space of other people who often don't care about, or want to hear about, your personal views. Many people find this intrusion to be a form of imposition, particularly in areas where you're subjected to it regularly, and then find the proclamation distasteful.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
