ROCHESTER, Mich. (Reuters) - Republican us-John McCain said on Wednesday religious freedom was suffering in China, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere and pledged to champion the right to worship if elected president in a speech aimed at mending fences with conservatives long suspicious of him.

In Rochester, Michigan, the Arizona senator used a wide-ranging speech on human dignity to promise support for religious freedom in countries that imprison or persecute "tens-of-thousands of people whose only crime is to worship God in their own way."
