What is religious freedom?

The right to practice the religion of one's choice, or to be a non-believer. The persecution of men and women for their religious beliefs has a long history and is, even yet, far from universally eradicated. Religious freedom is certainly a right, but if it is a right but not a fact then it remains an unfulfilled dream. It can be put down on paper but if it is not implemented and practiced then the old ways of persecution and intolerance continue unabated. Furthermore, religious freedom can be elusive when people turn a blind eye to those who act intolerantly and operate in various ways to deny religious freedom to others. Religious freedom is also more possibly recognized in its absence than in its presence, in much the same way as we don't always appreciate health, but certainly notice it when we are sick. Of course since religious intolerance is generally frowned upon it often takes more insidious forms which all amount to the same thing. These forms can even include using all kinds of excuses or reasons to deny religious freedom, which is really part of, or akin to, the whole idea of freedom of expression.

What was the relationship between religion and government in the colonies like?

In the American colonies, religion and government were closely intertwined. Many colonies had established churches, where the government supported and enforced a specific religious denomination. This led to a lack of religious freedom for those who did not belong to the established church. Over time, the idea of separation of church and state gained traction, leading to the eventual establishment of religious freedom in the United States.

When a state legalizes divorce does that violate the freedom of religion of those whose religion says that divorce is sinful?

A:There are some who believe that the religious beliefs that they hold entitle them to interfere in the rights of others, but would deny the rights of those who might follow different religious beliefs the right to meddle in their own affairs. Such people will never be satisfied and it is fruitless to seek common ground. Legalising divorce does not violate the religious freedom of those whose religion says that divorce is sinful, because it does not mandate that all couples must undergo divorce. On the other hand, failure to legalise divorce would violate the religious freedom of those who do not believe that divorce is sinful, or who believe that in certain circumstances divorce is the greater good.
