First Freedom First trailer
Posted by admin on October 21st, 2009
The founders of our nation believed that all Americans should have the right to worship according to their own beliefs, or not to worship at all. So strong was their commitment to religious freedom that they enshrined it in the first sentence of the Bill of Rights. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This constitutional guarantee is often known as the “first freedom.” Religion is a deeply personal matter.

I agree that it is conceited, but I think that Secularism is seriously under attack in the United States. We can’t win, under attack abroad from Islamic radicals while being sabotaged at home by Christian radicals.

That’s why we aren’t a democracy, we’re a republic. The republic structure is meant to mitigate the tyranny of the majority over the rights of a minority. It doesn’t always work, unfortunately, specially in these days of political demagoguery.

What happens at 4:30 is ridiculous.
Now, I could be wrong — but a democracy is equivalent to mob rule. Whatever the majority wants, they get. We’re supposed to have a constitutionally limited republic, and that’s what (supposedly) keeps a (religious/not religious) majority from oppressing a minority.
You can’t “love democracy” and then say that a religious majority can’t use government to push their views.

The bad thing about this country is that we refuse to take anything seriously anymore. We’ve seen that the current administration has no respect for the constitution, and sadly, i think alot of Americans just view it as a “Historical Document” and not as the very fabric of this nation.

The problem for the fundamentalist Christian movement in America is it doesn’t see that the law that separates church from state is to protect them. They are so concerned with conquering all others they never thing what happens to them if they become a vulnerable minority. More interestingly they fail to follow Jesus who told them to pray in private (sermon on the mount). They force a faith on others that they cannot even follow themselves.

As a born-again Christian who is active in his church, I have to say that this is a wonderful video about what I believe concerning the rights of citizens of the USA.

I am soooo deeply touched by this video. The Separation of Church and State is a guarantee of “true” spirituality. Thanks for this beautiful video!

oh really? the pope influences Bush? I believe the pope actually told him NOT to invade Iraq? duh. I’m not a fan of the catholic church, but I think most of the religious problems in this country are caused the religious right and the moral majority, as merryjest said.

The white pope is nothing, the Black Pope Peter Hans Kolvanbach Has the real power why do you think 2 of the white popes were poisend? or was that a conspiracy?
