Freedom Of Religion As A Theme Of Freedom In America

Decent Essays
America, a noble and just country. A country flowing with new things to do and new people to meet. This glorious nation is commonly known for its bravery, respect, equality, and most of all its freedom. The America I believe has not only the freedom of religion but the freedom of speech as well.

Freedom of religion, the most commonly used freedom in America. There are over 313 religions in America, and we are free to believe in each and every one of them or none of them at all. This means that no matter where one comes from or what gender one is, they can believe in who they want, when they want, however they want! But that’s only the begging of America’s freedoms.

    Provisional Title “In God We Trust: Freedom Religion in Public Schools” This title was chosen to examine and understand the extent in which teachers and students can express their beliefs, and the extent to which schools allow religion to be tolerated.

    The heart and soul of what America values derives from the American Dream. This idea was explored by James Truslow Adams in his book, “The Epic of America,” written in 1931. In his book, he stated that the American Dream was “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” This essentially means that each person that comes to the US will be given equal respect, have the freedom to do and say what they want, and be given an opportunity to succeed. Americans treasure freedom the most out of any value.…
