They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

America, It Will Take Much More Than Our Daily Wants To Go Forward (Continued)
III. Reestablishing The Respect For Religion In America.

The American experiment with democracy, opportunity and freedom to practice your religion has been deep rooted in this country and has influenced its ethics, morals and laws. Religion is deep rooted in this country “In God We Trust” overall 82% of Americans believe in this phrase on our currency. But in recent years America is trending towards a new and troubling direction. We may soon find out what happens when we unlink our freedoms from our faith. If we follow this trend of taking pray out of school and public gatherings, the consequences could mean less morals, more unhappy people and less success for our country. I’m not advocating a integration of church and state like most of the Islamic Faith Countries have, that of course denies freedom of religion.
