The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech, thought, and belief. It states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This amendment ensures that individuals have the right to express their ideas and beliefs without government interference.

Is there freedom of speech in US?

Yes, and you can find it in the First Amendment to the Constitution. The government may not establish a religion (make one religion the official belief of the US) and it also may not prevent you from worshiping as you wish, or not worshiping at all. You may have read some blogs or opinion pieces that claim the US does not have freedom of religion, but those pieces are often written by people who claim that America is supposed to favor their particular belief (usually evangelical Christianity), and who get upset when there isn't enough of that belief in public life.


Does freedom of religion also mean freedom from religion?

Decidedly yes, insofar as the rights of those who choose not to practice any religion. The First Amendment provides for freedom of religion for those who choose to follow a particular religious belief. There is nothing anywhere in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the writings of the Founding Fathers, or the laws of this nation that requires any citizen to espouse a religious belief or that, conversely, disallows unbelief (atheism). Thomas Jefferson said:"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God."
