Freedom only for Some Mr. Romney?

So, in the speech Willard Romney gave to an audience of sympathetic listeners (as opposed to JFK's speech which was to an audience of people largely unconvinced of his ability to act as President outside of the Catholic church), we get this gem:

"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom..."

How does this translate for the millions of Americans who are not religious? As no questions were permitted after the speech,
there was no chance to learn more. Ought we conclude that for the non-religious there is no expectation of freedom?

Whether or not you believe that a leader has to have a religious background, the ideals and values of the US are intended to treat everyone equally, regardless of differences in religious belief. It's no longer certain if those values are apparent in Mr. Romney's world.
