When you are young you are taught what is generally right or wrong. You are not given a chance to choose what you believe in since you are only a baby, and cannot fully comprehend the concept of religion. Once you are old enough, you are exposed to the variety of cultures that may fascinate you, and will help influence how you think. The majority of individuals tend to follow their own beliefs when they are well into their adult life, since they were taught to believe what their parents believed in. In Bless Me, Ultima, by Rudolfo Anaya, Antonio a young Catholic is left to question his beliefs when a curandera named Ultima exposes him to her own beliefs.

But it means that you take the question of how to live seriously.” This quote can mean a lot of different things for different people, but I personally see it as no matter what religion you are or how you interpret it, religion has an impact on everyone.

The common religious beliefs of that time, like anti gay rhetoric, were the reason my parents wanted to escape the grips of conformity. Their beliefs then impacted their parenting method to allow their children to learn what they want and speak openly and honestly with each other.

Witht that being said when someone sees a student practicing something other than Christianity, which it is bound to happen, everyone in the community will start more arguments. “This ever-growing pluralism challenges the public schools and the higher-education system to deal creatively and sensitively with students professing a variety of religions (or, as the case may be, no religion at all).” , states Arkansas Traveler

I use it online, in schools at my church and talking with my friends. I can never say that this right has been violated. Even when I was a little kid I knew that I could speak freely without fear of being reprimanded. While some may have not agree with

A recent study said more than two thirds of americans agree with the notion that “liberals have gone too far in trying to keep religion out of the schools and the government” (Rosentiel). Religion is a belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power. Having religion in schools is a big controversy because religious people want prayer in school and non religious people do not want prayer in schools. Religion is a big topic to talk about but especially in schools.

A lot of these people went to court to have them decide who the children would live

The teacher asked everyone in the class to stand up and she led the class in prayer. Now you cannot say a prayer in school anymore. In other countries women cannot show their face or choose who they want to marry. I am happily married and I couldn’t imagine someone choosing who I am going to marry.

How many of you have been asked a question, but lie about your answer? For example, your mom asks why didn 't you go to school today, and you lie and tell her you weren 't feeling good. In reality you just didn 't feel like going. Every day, we lie but there are many different reasons for doing so.

It all started when Edward Schempp, a resident of Abington, Pennsylvania filed a suit against the Abington School District to prohibit the enforcement of requiring children to hear and read portions of the Bible as part of their education. Schempp’s children attended the school and felt it was not right and against their religious freedoms. He and his family are also Unitarians. The case was lost at the Federal district court level, which then with hopes of Schempp dropping it, the school with parental consent aloud kids to opt out of it, but Schempp was still not pleased. This case seemed to cause difficult and social issues like no other.

Many of the principles that founded this nation are based on the premise of religious freedom and toleration. Undoubtedly one of the most influential and prominent religious factions to land on these shores in pursuit of this right, were the Puritans.

While I was typing this to my aunt through Facebook, it got me thinking and realizing where I actually stood when it came to my religion. I was confused, worried, and curious. All those years at church in elementary school became unimportant. Everything I learned there was gone. I felt like I entered into a new world with much curiosity.

Initially, my parents had planned for me to attend a private religious school, but I wasn’t having it and ended up enrolled at the local public elementary school instead. Here, I met people that gave from a huge variety of lifestyles, from super spoiled to living below the poverty line. However, we were all the same once we got to school and the more that I got to know my peers, the more I began to question everything that my parents had taught me.
