I think most definitely your rights were violated.
Unfortunately, the work force has ways of bending the truth
to make it appear people were terminated for reasons other
than the real reason.

Of course they have not right to terminate you for your
opinion. Your beliefs, religious system, opinion, and
expression of such are all protected by the first
amendment. But corporations wouldn't be what they are if
they couldn't prove that they had better reason for
termination.

By all means, if you think you have a case, pursue it. But
be prepared to lose. They will have other reasons for
termination by the time the case hits court.
