Freedom of religion must include the pagans, jews, muslims, hindus, buddhists, as well as freedom FROM religion.
Freedom of religion DOES indeed include all your aforementioned groups but it most certainly does not mean freedom FROM religion. You are free to choose (or not), to worship (or not) as you see fit but that does NOT infer that you should have any expectation or “freedom” from not witnessing someone else practicing theirs. You can’t be obligated to participate but you aren’t immune from inquiry.
Freedom OF religion is enshrined in our Constitution, articulated by honest God-fearing men that understood the potential for abuse when government mandated a state religion. It guarantees that you can practice your religion without repercussions.
Freedom FROM religion is a false notion that, unlike our “real” rights, requires something from others ie, suppressing the expression of one’s faith. It is a false notion that is pursued by un-enlightened, selfish and godless men that use deception as a premise.
You can choose religion or not. I can choose religion or not but neither of us has a guarantee that we’ll not witness the other one practicing theirs.
