If freedom were an illusion, prisons as we know them would likely not exist as the concept of confinement and punishment would be rendered meaningless. Society may find alternative ways to manage behavior deemed harmful or disruptive, focusing more on rehabilitation and addressing root causes rather than punitive measures.

Why is retaining the right to religious freedom important?

Retaining the right to religious freedom is important because it allows individuals to practice their beliefs without fear of persecution or discrimination. It also promotes diversity and tolerance within society, fostering peaceful coexistence among people with different faiths. Additionally, religious freedom is a fundamental human right enshrined in many international agreements and constitutions.


What is the benefit of having freedom of religion and what would happen if we didn't have it?

Freedom of religion allows individuals to practice their beliefs without fear of persecution, promoting diversity and tolerance in society. Without it, there could be discrimination, oppression, and conflict among different religious groups, leading to social unrest and violations of human rights.


By including the freedom of religion in the First Amendment, the founding fathers were promoting religion?

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.


Is there any chance our society would revert to whites only again?

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.


Why did the new Government under the US Constitution have to guarantee freedom of religion?

The guarantee of freedom of religion in the US Constitution was necessary to ensure that citizens would have the right to practice their own beliefs without government interference. This was important because many early Americans sought religious freedom as they immigrated to the new country to escape religious persecution in their homelands. The Founding Fathers also believed that protecting religious freedom would promote tolerance and prevent religious conflicts that could destabilize the young nation.

Why you should have freedom?

==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.

What degree of freedom is required in a democratic society?

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.


Why is freedom of speech not good in democratic society?

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.
