I've asked before and don't think I've seen an answer: are the "expression of * freedom: *" lines a work in progress? Are they templates to be filled in with real statements about each religion/whatever? Because it seems to me that currently the "expressions" aren't actually expressing anything - they're just a list of religions and suchlike.

The initial/default CLAMspeech list should exist in code at the official git repository.
We welcome proposed additions or changes.

OK, but I think you miss my point. To pick a random example the first tx I looked at says:

    "clam-speech" : "Expression of Political Freedom: Nazism"

I'm saying that I don't think that is an expression of political freedom. It's just a word. Just as the string "one sausage" isn't a sausage, it's just some words. And so "Expression of Political Freedom: Nazism" looks to me like a template that needs to be filled in. If it said "White people are the best, especially blue-eyed blonde-haired ones" then that's an expression - it's saying something. I'm not sure a simple list of words *is*. I'm not a lawyer (nor an expert on Nazism, clearly), but it just kind of bugs me that the default speech list contains the *word* expression a lot, but never actually expresses anything.
