2. Freedom of Religion: Is separation of church and state necessary? Why or why not?
Separation of church and state is necessary. In schools, if there was no separation of church and state, there would more than likely be an overall religion for everyone. One religion would most likely be favored over another, or even religion over no religion. Also if there was a favored religion, most students would feel embarrassed and would probably would try to avoid school. If you put that into a bigger area such as state, the same would happen. The state would probably favor a certain religion more than the other, and expect everyone to follow that religion. Many people would be very angry and it would cause a lot of disruptions and chaos.

Miss Ashley, I agree with you on separation of church and state. I don't think religion should be forced on anyone in any form. I think people should have the right to choose their own religion. If our national or state government choose one religion over another, I think it would cause a huge backlash in this country and a division between the people. We hear of wars being fought in other countries because of religious beliefs. Freedom of religion is one of the basics this country was built on because the first settlers of this country to get away from a one religion nation that the people did not agree with.
