FREEDOM OF RELIGION - Bill of Rights Hoodie

FREEDOM OF RELIGION

On Sunday morning, the church bells ring.

Across town, a family is preparing for Shabbat. Somewhere else, the call to prayer rises over the rooftops. A Buddhist lights incense before a small altar. A woman sits quietly in her garden, contemplating the universe without the assistance of organized religion.

And the gentleman next door believes in absolutely none of it.

All perfectly constitutional.

The First Amendment begins with an extraordinary restriction on government power: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

In other words, the government doesn't get to choose your religion for you.

Nor does it get to insist that you have one.

For more than two centuries, Americans have debated what those words mean in classrooms, courtrooms, public squares, and occasionally over Thanksgiving dinner.

There have been arguments about prayer in schools, religious symbols on public property, exemptions from generally applicable laws, and the complicated business of living together in a country where people hold profoundly different beliefs.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION celebrates the constitutional principle that matters of conscience belong first to the individual, not the state.

It protects the freedom to worship, the freedom to question, the freedom to change your mind, and the freedom to believe something your neighbor finds completely incomprehensible.

Which is fortunate.

Because your neighbor may feel exactly the same way about you.

And somehow, you can still borrow his lawn mower.

An original BIENTEVEO design for the people who understand that freedom of conscience means protecting not only the beliefs we share, but also the ones we don't.
