France's Freedom Of Religion

When America adopted the term Freedom, as far back as the country’s founding. To how we as a nation obtained freedom and the patriots who had to fight several wars in order to continue to possess it. As citizens and members of a society, we are extremely fortunate to have several different types of freedoms. Although this is a good thing in some cases, there comes to a point where too much freedom can be dangerous because there would essentially be no protection for the people. To prevent this from happening, we give up particular freedoms and swap it for safety. The freedoms that are most important to me are religion, economic, education, and gun control. With that being said, there should be the same “restriction” on each of the freedoms, no acts of violence will be condoned.

proportion is Protestant. During the period of New France, Roman Catholicism was the official religion,

The United States as well as France both experienced dramatic economic and social hardships, which eventually led to revolution. As the French people pushed to overthrow the absolute monarchy established many years ago, America fought for independence from Great Britain, resulting in new understandings of liberty and new rights.

In the United States, religious freedom is a unique right that not all countries allow. The founding fathers instilled this idea although they predominately followed the Christian faith. Several documents and common American morals have Christian roots; some of which include the establishment of God given rights and basic human decency. The words “In God We Trust” on our currency and “One Nation Under God” in our pledge represent the guiding principles that the United States was established on. Although some may believe these words are controversially bias toward Christianity, they are an important part of history. There are multiple references to faith throughout history and several words and concepts are derived from Christian

Discuss the political, economic, and religious developments in France during the reign of King Louis XIV, and how the other states of Europe reacted to create a 'balance of power' designed to check France's rise in power and influence both in Europe and overseas.

The French Revolution was a civil revolt that broke out in France against the absolute monarchy and the Roman Catholic Church, which lasted from 1789-1799. This resulted in the establishment of France as a republic, democratic government and caused the Roman Catholic Church’s necessity, as well as its power to be questioned. The French Revolution ended the thousand-year rule of the monarchy in France and began when King Louis XVI gathered representatives from the 3 social groups called the Clergy, the Nobilities and the Commoners to solve a great national debt and economic crisis France was experiencing.

Life in France during the Seventeenth Century was volatile in that there were many changes to the central ideology of society. Focusing on the time immediately before and during King Louis XIV’s reign, intellectual curiosity peaked. People began to wonder about the world and even questioned religion. Right before King Louis XIV was officially crowned, Europe was just coming out of the Thirty Years war. This war occurred in the Holy Roman Empire between 1618 and 1648 and was a war between the Catholics and the Protestants (Wilson). Although the war didn’t occur directly in France it definitely had an impact on the way France would be ruled since it was a Catholic nation (Damerow 2009). As a direct result of the closer examination of religion,

Fellow students and promonate leader. I am a devout Christian teen, and I want to talk about the religious freedom in America. Although I am a Christian, I speak for all religious groups when I say this speech. In today’s world from listening to the news, it appears that the freedom of religion is in jeopardy. Freedom seems to be slipping through the fingers of many Americans. Religion is not just overlooked nowadays, but used as a tool to discriminate others. To first understand my points, you must acknowledge the proper history of America.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” I believe that America should be that one place that everyone feels comfortable and safe. America has lots of freedoms that let us do and think without having people tell us what to do. We are truly lucky to live in such an amazing country.

For many people in the world there are few things more precious than religious freedom.

Freedom of religion has become a controversial issue in the United States. In my opinion after reading your post, I thought of religious extremist. Those that believe their religion is the absolute truth. I believe that everyone has the right to express their religion; however, if it is going to cause harm to other, the religion if it teaches hate should be band. In the new today that is all you see abroad. Thank you for sharing about your culture and faith it is interesting how people of the same culture treat each other because to their faith. Therefore, there are laws in place to protect us from discrimination. I call them extremist the word fundamentalist fit very well. The word “fundamentalism” is frequently used to describe strict

From the beginning the United States of America was formed, it has been founded and established by religious toleration and freedom. Without religious freedom, people are forced to comply with laws and policies that blatantly contradict their beliefs. This results in people living their lives in a struggle between their personal beliefs and obeying the laws that are placed before them. Obviously upholding personal convictions is very important, but people are forced to decide if it is personally worth the persecutions they may endure in result of it. Freedom of religion is considered to be a basic human right. Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance” (Leiter, p. 6). However, there are many countries throughout the world that are actively engaging in religious persecution daily. Roger Trigg, author of Equality, Freedom, and Religion, states that “without the ability to decide, and live by, what we consider to be most important and valuable in life, we cannot be free” (Trigg, p. 153).

The Bill for Establishing Freedom of Religion was written in 1779 by Thomas Jefferson it’s goal to keep the country from implementing a national established church. In 1786, the Virginia Assembly passed the bill, making Virginia the example of religious liberty. This bill was a precursor to the First Amendment of the Constitution, which discusses the freedom of religion, and the separation of the church and state. At the time this Bill was written, the country had just won the Revolutionary War, and was in the process of establishing a government. Patrick Henry wanted to make Christianity the established religion of the country. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Bill to reason why the separation of church and state would be better for the country,

The French are all about preserving their culture and being individualized. They often take great pride in the French products and the French style, and believe in keeping the French culture “pure” so they also limit the amount of foreign goods that are being imported. But during the World Wars the French began to allow foreigners to immigrate into France to take jobs due to an increase in job shortages. The immigration from the World Wars added to the diversity of the French culture. Ever since the 1850’s there has been a steady flow of immigration into France, and now nine percent of the French population is made up of immigrants (Gofen 62). The break down of the cultures in France is eighty-five percent of the French population is Roman
