Freedom of Religion

You get your freedom of religion from your First Amendment rights.  But what is the point of this right.  In my mind this right gives the right to support your religion and express your thoughts about your religion. Not all religions are the same but u need to respect their beliefs as equal as you respect your beliefs.  Religion is important to many people they attend their religous ceremonies and some go around towns and express their thoughts to people by going door to door.  They also do other things to express their thoughts.  Like when i went to Kent State University for a college fair.  There were a few people around the campus who had signs and were explaining there view on God and stuff like that.  Some other people were passing out little Bibles to the students.  It was really something new to me.  I have never seen people so involved in expression and supporting their relgion.  It had me think what do i believe in when it comes to religion.  After a few days of thinking i figured it out.  I'm a Catholic who believes in God, but i don't fully believe in what the Church tells you or in what the Bible says.  Religion is a really important thing in America.  Religion brings people toghther to help others and is what makes people different in life.  The First Amendment right of religion needs to be taken serious which it is.  I say this because your religion can help on a college application or just in general, like if you need to talk to someone.  Your Holy Place will be thier for you if u just want to pray or if you want to speak to someone.  Freedom of Religion is something you will always want because the religion you support will always be your choice and not someone elses.
