Why does the first amendment guarantee freedom of religion?

Answer 1

The Framers of the US Constitution were men from various religious denominations. This was unlike England, which had made the Anglican religion the official state religion. By doing so the British government could persecute peoples who did not belong to the official state church. With that said, the beginning phrase of the First Amendment of the US Constitution reads as follows:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;........"
As an aside, there is no mention of the words "separation of church and state"" in any official US documents in the Republic's early years. The words were taken from a private letter written by Thomas Jefferson, many years after the Constitution was ratified.

Answer 2

when the citizens came over from England they didn't like their religion so the framers wanted their people to have the freedom to choose religion and the right to petition and the right to trial by jury and write what they want in the press and freedom of Assembly

So, overall:

The first Amendment is important because it ensures the right of religious and Political freedom.
