Actually, democracy is simply a form of government in which governing power is vested in the people. It has nothing to do with being able to impose your beliefs on anyone else. That being said, what you probably meant to say is "We live in a free country," which is a line often used by people who feel that they have the right to do whatever they want. And they do--to a certain extent. Ideally, everyone would have the right to believe what they want to believe in a free country. To also allow everyone the right to impose their beliefs on everyone else would be contradictory to that. Perhaps what you mean is that you have the right to share your beliefs with others. If that is what you mean, then yes, you do have the right to share your beliefs with others (as long as they are willing to listen). But if you truly mean that you have the right to force your beliefs on others, even if these beliefs are counter to their own beliefs, then let me ask you this: where is [i]their[/i] freedom? For whom, exactly is the United States a free country? (By the way, the systems of government most suited to imposing beliefs on others would be fascism or totalitarianism.)
