What does freedom of religion or freedom of religious expression mean?
Freedom of religion or freedom of religious expression refers to the right of individuals to practice their religion or beliefs without interference or persecution from the government or others. This includes the freedom to worship, assemble, and express religious beliefs in public and private settings without fear of discrimination or coercion. It is a fundamental human right protected by many international agreements and constitutions around the world.
Why do you think that the puritans did not want a dissent?
The Puritans believed that their interpretation of religion was the correct one and saw dissent as a threat to their community and beliefs. They wanted to maintain unity and conformity within their society in order to uphold their way of life and protect their religious values. Dissent was viewed as a challenge to their authority and a potential source of division and discord.
Why is freedom of religion so controversial?
I believe one issue that makes freedom of religion controversial is that people always want freedom of religion in countries where their own personal religion is in a minority, but often want to restrict freedom of or from religion in countries where their religion is dominant. Thus, Christians want freedom of religion in Iran or China, but many Christians would choose to restrict that very freedom in the United States. Muslims want freedom of religion in the United States or France, among others, but demonstrate very clearly that freedom of religion is far from their minds in, say, Egypt or Pakistan.In case it seems controversial to say that many Christians would choose to restrict freedom of religion in the United States, think about the reaction of some to the presence of moderate Muslims in the country. Think about the gossip that perhaps Barack Obama is a closet Muslim, as if that would undermine his legitimacy as President. Think about continued attempts to include prayer, Bible readings or religion in public schools, and remember it is always Christian prayer and Christian religious teachings that are sought. I see no one standing up and saying, "Let's teach all the children in our school about Buddhism this year." Think about the words of President Bush when he said that atheists should be denied citizenship.Freedom of religion is in the interest of minorities, but not in the interest of the dominant religion.
Should religion be abolished?
No--look what happened when people tried to outlaw religion--followers cling onto it even more... Not a good idea; it will make you enemies that you don't need. Although removing religion from society has been tried before, it failed because some people don't want to give it up, some can't bear to be without the thought of an afterlife and some just can't think for themselves. Even if religion should be eliminated, doing so is impossible.
Why did the Puritans live in small towns?
The Puritans lived in small towns as a way to create close-knit communities that shared their religious beliefs. They believed in establishing communities where they could practice their religion freely and govern themselves according to their beliefs. Small towns also helped them maintain social order and discipline among their members.

Did the Pilgrims or puritans want freedom of religion?
The Pilgrims sought freedom of religion as they were Separatists who wanted to break away from the Church of England and practice their faith independently. In contrast, the Puritans aimed to purify the Church of England from within rather than separate from it, but they also desired to establish a society based on their religious beliefs. While both groups valued religious principles, their approaches to achieving religious freedom differed significantly. Ultimately, both contributed to the broader quest for religious liberty in America.
