Religious Freedom in America: The question of whether religion in America is losing the battle for historical and traditional moral standards is one that affects people of faith and the society as a whole
Americans tend to take the liberties spelled out in the Bill of Rights for granted. This is especially true of freedom of religion in which the First Amendment protects “the free exercise thereof” while at the same time prohibiting “an establishment of religion” to ensure that neither a state nor the federal government can stipulate a specific religion as the “official” one.
