Religious Freedom Defined

Religious freedom is
The human right to express,
Think, and act upon belief
What, from God, may impress

Through faith, prayer, and thought
The path of personal faith is found
As life's answers are sought
Freedom of conscience is sound

This is important to us all
Our founding fathers knew it too
The flag of freedom waves to call
Be free to dream, think, choose, and do

Let there be a moral compass
In the choices that we make
Let us unite for this, thus
And for freedom, re awake

The introduction says that “religious freedom is the human right to think, act upon and express what one deeply believes, according to the dictates of his or her moral conscience. The breadth of religious freedom and its relationship with freedom of conscience helps explain why religious freedom is important for everyone, not just for people of faith.”
