Freedom of Speech

Freedom of Speech in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution states that “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.”  

Steve Miller,  some republican Congressional members and our Executive branch want to turn the United states into a Christian Country, this violates the Establishment Clause which prohibits the government from making any law respecting an establishment of religion. In layman’s terms, we the people can believe in whatever religion we want to and the government has no say in it. I will abolish Project 2025.

Not all Christians worship the same way, so one person's idea of Christianity is not the same as the other. There are Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics, Babtists and Lutheran's as an example. All worshipping christians who have different ideas though are similar they all believe and worship differently. 

United States Native beliefs before the English, Spanish, and Dutch immigrants arrived were based on animism. Animism means that everything has a spirit, so trees, wind, rocks, animals, and other objects had spirits and were worshipped. United States Natives even had a myth about the Seven Sisters who came from the stars and married with the Earth species to create humans. 

Hinduism is the worship of a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses to explain the existence of life. Brahma, Saraswati, Vishnu, Lakshmi, Shiva, and  Durga are the most commonly worshipped Gods in Hinduism. The worship of these gods typically is a prayer and an offering much like other religions. 

Sikh is monotheistic  religion. The men wear turbins on their head and dont believe in cutting their hair. The men and women often carry a (Kirpan) knife or sword which is meant to be used for protection and to defend the oppressed. Sikhism has the five K's: Kesh (uncut hair), Kanga (wooden comb), Kara (steel bracelet), Kachera (undershorts), and Kirpan (a small sword).

Islam is a monotheistic religion that worships one God (Allah),  not the prophet. The creator of Islam was Muhammad. He one day had a divine relevation shown to him by the Angel Gabriel around 610 AD. The Quran is their holy book which explains life and creation. The Quran is not written in order, the chapters are based on length. The Five Pillars of Islam are Profession of Faith (shahada), Prayer (salat), Alms (zakat), Fasting (sawm), Pilgrimage (hajj). Men worship in the down stairs of a Mosque, while women and children worship in the upper level of the Mosque. Men and women are commonly seperated for religious activity and depending on which form of Islam they believe in. 

Judaism is a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion that is the oldest of the three major Abrahamic faiths, along with Christianity and Islam. They follow the teaching of Abraham, Moses, and other prohpets who had a divine interaction with God. The Hebrew holy book is called the Tanakh which consists of multiple  books: 1.) Torah (books by Moses) 2.) Nevi'im (books of the prophets)  3.) Ketuvim (sacred writings). 

There are more religions, these are just a few, and an example of why there needs to remain a separation of church and state.
