Freedom of Religion: Crash Course Government and Politics #24
Freedom of Religion: Crash Course Government and Politics #24
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.

“ STRANGE FIRE “ by PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH YOU TUBE “ ISREAL IN PROPHECY “ By TAJ PACLEB YOU TUBE VERY VERY GOOD WATCH
The state is a religion
Should be freedom of belief act.
Mind your P’s and q’s
my favorite part 5:55 but some of this might be violated
Ha! Found a typo at 3:13……"Entaglement"
people shouldn’t have to make other people feel bad for what you believe in. or really any god you believe in. or gods. doesn’t matter how many. you shouldn’t have to feel bad for that. that is all. that is all from me.
1:16 That last part is literally impossible.
"… nor does it write its laws based on any religious edicts.", because how can you write any law without determining right and wrong?
You have to have a belief system in order to establish a moral code. Even atheism is a religion. But how do you determine right from wrong without God?
In my experience conservatives are the only ones who ever attacked my religious freedom or freedom of thought, never liberals (even when I was a fundamentalist christian)
Craig is like the literal best.
this video is sooo fast
Craig: "…the totally non-controversial topic of Freedom Of Religion!"

GREAT WATCH HERE “ FROM EVOLUTIONIST TO CREATIONIST “ by PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH YOU
Religion holds a society together as long as it’s not extreme. When we believe in nothing, we worship man. That leads to people like Stalin and Hitler. It’s such a fine line to not push ideals on people, but a society has to have values and morals. And believe me, they can’t come from man, but from a higher power. That’s why the Constitution starts with ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are CREATED equal and that they are endowed by their CREATOR….can anything be more evident that they believed in a higher power?
What if we made same sex marriage part of a religon, would it be legal everywhere then?
is it ok to desire freedom FROM Reliogion?
Stop sticking your religion in my peanut better … I chocolate 😏
like it or not the cross is demonic .
if you are for Christmas [the tree and the cross]??dream on sucker, or do you like the label pagan better?
I consider freedom of religion to be an oxymoron. You are being granted freedom to subjugate yourself to a predetermined set of dogmas that will take away your ability to think freely. Religion is one worst forms of tyranny.
Great video. Professional, and objective.
John 14:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
not understanding the topic with an essay due:
*resorts to crash course*
Of course, they were also called Pilgrims on The Mayflower.
Freedom of religion created Sharia Law
“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.”
—James Madison
Well hot damn I’m FORCED to pray in my class everyday, and if i don’t i WILL BE FORCED, to go to the front of the class to pray OUTLOUD. Not to seem overly exaggerating, this actually happened, and in my country its legal, and its illegal to not have a religion
I almost thought that he wasn’t gonna punch the eagle
Look at what’s happened to society and the constitution regarding this. It’s like we have freedom of religion yet they don’t allow it in schools unless it’s private because someone might just be “offended.” That is WRONG, because we have that freedom and people don’t have to believe, but if you really think about what this idea has led to, I mean, the decline in religion has corresponded with a dramatic increase in divorce, drug/substance abuse, and other grueling things that people have to deal with or are affected by. It’s only going to get worse if we keep shunting God from society. Imagine your people who know that you’re the one that created them and then just rebel against that. That’s like bullying, or isolating someone. No shame on anyone who isn’t a believer but with society as a whole, it’s the belief that we can’t publicly express religion because of opposing ideas (which oppose the constitution as well). Anyone who is atheist, you’ve probably struggled with something or maybe you just want to not, but if you turn to God and Christ things will be a lot happier because I’ve been a lot happier :). No shame though, we all have freedom of religion. Just sharing my thoughts
Politicians and religious master brainwashing will guarantee when your time come you will taste the real hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 , your angel,jibril,guardian,soul,all has eye witnessed in sky well you may say I’m liar but i dare your religious teacher,preacher don’t have third eye to view those angel ,my opinion everyone has own choosing today don’t push whatever they dislike
The state cannot have an antagonistic view of my children’s faith, if it is mandatory for me to pay school taxes when buying a home. Give me a refund of my school taxes if they are going to violate my children’s religious freedoms in schools that way I can use that tax money to fund a school that will uphold my child’s constitutional freedom of religion.
Some schools try to sneak through it like in the case of my kids PE teacher she try to sneak in yoga and I would have none of it either my kid wasn’t taking yoga or they were asked to do something else
It was 5 loaves and 2 fish lol.
Public schools are unconstitutional. And Atheism isn’t neutral.
“THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK?” PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH YOU TUBE
“ TOTAL ONSLAUGHT “ by PROFESSOR VEITH YOU TUBE
Somehow we let a lot of lawyers warp a pretty simple concept….. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". In other words, the federal government can not enact laws that either require adherence to a particular religion or punish anyone for a particular religion. Beyond that….the government should not interfere with religious practices and local religious choices that do not violate non religious laws. Somehow this became a strict separation where the government could not acknowledge, promote and participate in the religious lives of citizens. This somehow led to an agenda to impose an absence of religion…which seems to violate the amendment itself in "prohibiting the free exercise therof". Also, there evolved an idea that people have a right to an absence of religion. This is not stated anywhere in the amendment what so ever as atheism is not a religion and is not covered in any way in the amendment specifically dealing with religion. On the other hand, if Atheism is a religion, it should not be imposed by the Government under the Amendment. I think it that Government acknowledgement and even promotion of local religious traditions, practices and imagery is just fine and likely a benefit to our society. As long as this is democratically determined and there is no compulsion to attend or exclusion. If a community is Satanic, they should be able to petition their city or town leaders to display imagery or festivals on public land. If a school wants to hold a Christian prayer or students want to meet for a Muslim prayer group, the government under the amendment should only have to avoid requiring attendance or participation or punishing those who choose not to participate. Citizen’s hurt feelings or having to be subjected to the traditions and religious ideas of others should not be a concern of the federal government. Citizens can make these local changes themselves democratically with the election of their leaders if they are unhappy with the events, practices, imagery on public property that is paid for by the citizens. There is as much right to a freedom from religion as a vegan has to a freedom from meat. Freely choose not to partake of it….that is the extent of your right.
Of course, according to Smithsonian, Roger Williams was persecuted by The Roman Catholic church. Of course, I know that his great grand daughter’s husband, Reverend Valentine Wightman, was as well since I’m a descendant of Reverend Valentine Wightman’s brother, Reverend George Wightman (Baptist Encyclopedia) Puritans……Separatists they were called and for good reason.
Crash Course should add a sports show
Yes you have Freedom of Religion. But you DON’T have Freedom of Religion to violate our laws.
“ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?” By DOUG BATCHELOR YOU TUBE
who is this guy… where is John? John makes or breaks this channel.
Oh…I figured out who took over The United States from within. It took me 15 years to figure them out.
You can’t have freedom of religion without freedom from it.
You threw in prayers at school as if it was apart of your argument. This is not in the constitution, nor does the constitution imply such a thing. Prayer in school is not unconditional and has been grossly misused by the state to silence the church. The law protects the church from the state, not the other way around.
