Freedom of Religion: Crash Course Government and Politics #24

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:48
Updated: 24 Jul 2015

Today, Craig is going to take a look at the First Amendment and your right to freedom of religion. We’ll examine some significant Supreme Court decisions and talk about how they’ve affected our interpretations of the law with respect to stuff like animal sacrifice and prayer in schools. As you’ll see, there aren’t always clearly defined, or bright-line, rules in approaching legal questions. Sometimes tests have to be developed to account for the ever-changing nature of the law and it’s applications - so we’re talk about some of those too.

An op-ed on the front page of Yahoo News caught my eye. J. Matt Barber argues that "homofascism" is taking over the country, and due to the gay "agenda," religious freedom is under attack. Should religious small business owners be forced to serve gay customers? I make my case in the video.

Western countries allow freedom of choice in religion, free speech and the democratic rights of individuals. But Islam is opposed to these freedoms and want to change those countries that give them a home. Most of the world has welcomed Muslim refugees and this has been one of the greatest mistakes in history. They are now trying to assert their ways and laws onto us, and our politicians are appeasing them all the way. Try this stunt if you are a non believer in a Muslim country, it would not be tolerated.

Freedom of religion or freedom of belief is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion. The freedom to leave or discontinue membership in a religion or religious group—in religious terms called "apostasy"—is also a fundamental part of religious freedom, covered by Article 18 of United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Freedom of religion is considered by many people and nations to be a fundamental human right. In a country with a state religion, freedom of religion is generally considered to mean that the government permits religious practices of other sects besides the state religion, and does not persecute believers in other faiths.
