The Importance of Religious Freedom
The Importance of Religious Freedom The price of religion to a human in one of the most important factors in one’s life, as well is their own being. People practice religion for several reasons, throughout the world it is practiced as it being part of their heritage. However many people seek religion for the feeling of security.
There are hundreds of different cultures throughout the world, some who believe in everything including their health is left up to the Gods to heal, while others believe in praying for the advanced technology of today help them to survive. This to them is their feeling of security, whether it is seen different in someone else’s opinion because to them it is what has them to be the person they are. I believe everyone should have their “freedom of religion”, and the state should respect this stance. When it comes right down to the state and the practice of religion, I feel it is the right of the individual being to believe and practice whatever faith he or she chooses, as is stated in the first amendment. However, this is not absolute and only under major (vital) circumstances should the state intervene, especially when it involves interfering with others rights.
The only practice that should be prohibited is the sort that causes injury to people or that destroys or threatens society. Although only under such situations do I feel the state should become involved, it is rarely the case and people everyday are violated of their beliefs. Many people have been prosecuted for their religious beliefs. People of strong religious views have a lot of time led to prejudice among other faiths not quite like their own in the system of the government situations like this always take place. For example, one government has a strong allegiance to one particular religion, they will see other religious people’s views as a threat to political authority. This would only go to cause the state to overlook certain religions depending on their own faith.
