We are constantly debating the principle of a "religious liberty". Does it really exist in the Constitution? The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...."
The point of the First Amendment is to ensure that relgious beliefs are removed from attempted government control. Secondly, it ensures that the government does not get involved with enforcing, mandating, or promoting particular relgious doctrines, even including belief in gods.
In my opinion, the First Amendment is currently being eroded by the present occupant in the white house and his nominees to various high government positions.
Now that I've spewed facts you already know, do you believe that the present administration is eroding our right to religious libery?
Religions have enjoyed their usurped/stolen freedoms and liberties since their first days of invention.
These 'freedoms and liberties' have been nothing more than a blight on humanity and human development, they suppressed and repressed the growth and advancement of mankind, destroyed freedoms of culture, thought, knowledge, understanding and personal lives and choices to say the very least and all with absolute and unwarranted impunity.
Yes, especially considering the lunatic religious fanatic he chose as his Vice-President. I believe in religious freedom for everyone, including people like us who do not believe in God. Religion has no place in the government & the running of the country.
You cannot govern without a foundation. They were compelled to adopt the spiritual principles of the Haudenosaunee. The Iriquois Confederacy gave us, the United Sates of America, "The Bill of Rights". It had not been formally recognized until 1987. America is not a Judeo-Christian creation.
Yes this administrations tax laws, educational advantages to religious schools and trouncing the rights of the LGBTQ community all threaten our religious liberty.
This is why civil liberty lawyers need to get involved.
The trump administration seems very unfriendly to Islam, but I see no bias towards Judaism, Jainism, Buddhism.... they do seem to want to force Christian values down to he throats of all Americans, though.
The greater threat in my opinion is Trump's eroding of the trust we have had in the institutions of government.
