Condtitution 101 BORs.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or 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.

Let us look at the Bill of Rights.

Amendment 1 has three parts:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

1. The fact is that all people must die and if you believe in an afterlife as most Americans did and do. That afterlife goes on forever. So logic would make clear that duration  alone would make the afterlife the most important. it had been made clear( the 30 years war 1615  to 1645) that people would go to war over religion and that governments  would try to establish a state religion, So as the decisions that effect your afterlife were of great importance; in fact many came to the US for religious freedom, the People wanted to insure that the Federal government had NO power over religion..the fed cannot make or forbid a religion.

2.  "abridging the freedom of speech" The federal government may not restrict freedom of political speech  or publishing (now posting as well) I say political becouse if you simply call or publish or post that  Joe or Mary are  bad you can find your self in court. But if you say, publish or post,  I support or oppose  Mr Obama  or Mr Trump; people may not like or agree with it but there is NOTHING the Fed may do about it.

3. or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The people who wrote the Bill of Rights knew that the PEOPLE from time to time would want the federal government to do or not do things and in order to allow their voice to be heard with out Civil War, the people required the right to assemble peaceably..(as people have more political power in a group) it was felt more political power, and ask the Government to correct what we the people see as problems.
Again this was done as a way to prevent CIVIL WAR by giving the people a peaceful way control the government.

Opinion: I think the new cult of secular humanism IS the new state religion of the PC. Again that is simply my OPINION.

Tomorrow: The Second Amendment
