Freneau was a firm believer in the ideas and nature of enlightenment. Freneau was against religions that bound an individual to a deity and a single belief.

religions and I had no idea what it really was. My group consisted of myself, Jett, Bill and Joe we decided to go to the Hindu Temple of Southwest Florida and St. Hilarys.
