Amendment One

Original Content

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

"Religion can be taken in many different contexts. Religion has a different meaning for everyone. The culture we live in today is more open toward religious freedom. Today people are searching for meanings and ways to make sense of the world. The most popular way is religion." - Joe McCracken

What This Means to You

The government cannot restrict what religious views the American people pratice or believe in. We have the right to assemble, practice, and believe in whatever religion we want to. If you want to believe in God, Buddha, etc., go ahead it's your right!
