no because technically they would be in a sort of prison
Retaining the right to religious freedom is important because in a democratic society people should be free to practice their religion. Also, people would rebel if religious freedom was curtailed.
A benefit of having freedom of religion is that people can choose what religion to follow without fear of being persecuted. Also, people have to learn to accept that religion because there is nothing they can do about it. If we didn't have freedom of religion you wouldn't be asking this question because you'd know the answer! Life would be boring, except of course from the seeking out of people who refuse to follow the chosen religion. There are many examples of what happens without freedom of religion in History, and still today. Mary Queen of Scots and Lady Jane Grey (the Nine Days Queen) are just two examples out of many.
Actually, the founders included the freedom of religion in the First Amendment to ensure that the government would not establish a national religion and to protect the free exercise of religion for all individuals. They aimed to create a secular government that would not favor any particular faith, promoting religious freedom rather than any specific religion.
Historically, some of the greatest crimes can be attributed to conflict in religious beliefs. It was important to ensure that discrimination, hate crimes or even genocide would not occur based upon religious belief. Many people came to america seeking to have that freedom
It is highly unlikely that society would revert to a "whites only" policy. Such segregation and discrimination are widely condemned and illegal in many countries. There is a growing awareness and push for diversity, equity, and inclusion in society, making a return to such policies improbable.

People need freedom of the press for various reasons. The press serves as the watchdog in the society and gagging it would be detrimental to the society. However, the freedom should also be monitored.
None. Zero. This is a myth of America. Freedom aka privilege would be the proper term. Freedom is an illusion dressed up to look as though one rights and the pursuit of happiness and all this gibberish.
How would you measure the "strength" of an optic illusion?
==One Answer== Freedom leads to personal and intellectual growth. With freedom, you need to do your own thinking and make your own decisions. No one does that for you. It forces you to take responsibility for yourself and for the consequences of your actions. Freedom is not for the lazy or undisciplined. They fail to thrive in a free society. Freedom means more work for the individual but the rewards of living in a free society are worth the effort.
As the rejection of traditional roles and expectations defined by biology or society
She would often be stripped of the little freedom she had, as well as banished from the family and society altogether
One would think total freedom, but that would lead to anarchy, and by extension freedom for no one. This is a question that many have tried to answer. The more conservative view is a lesser degree of freedom than the traditional liberal view. The proper answer would be what the founding father may have had in mind, freedom for the educated property owners to pursue commercial interests, and freedom for the rest of the citizenry to live.
To have a democratic society freedom of speech IS needed. Not to have it would mean a society where people can not protest or write/say anything bad concerning the government. Freedom of speech is extremely good in a democratic society. If people are going to be able to participate in the process of government, they need to be able to share their thoughts on political subjects. Dictatorships, in comparison, always try to restrict speech, so that no opposition to their rule can even be expressed.
It is in your question already. An illusion will never be real. If it was real then it would be no illusion. Optical illusions are in a way real. They are real optical illusions. We can however not fake an illusion because the illusion is fake from start.
No. It is a contradiction in terms to think of freedom without freedom of religion, just as it would be a contradiction in terms to think of freedom without freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and so on. Freedom means not having to follow any one religion, nor having the values of any one religion imposed on society at large.
A mirage is an optical phenomenon that creates the illusion of water. I can't imagine an opposite of seeing an illusion.
