Religious faith is vitally important in our country’s history. The desire for the freedom of religious expression was the motivation for the founding of several of the English colonies. Founding Father John Adams said about the new Constitution, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

In this episode, Ray Notgrass discusses our most precious freedom in this country, the freedom of religion. He examines the First Amendment's prohibition of an established religion and its guarantee of the free expression of religion. Learn how decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court have defined the meaning of these phrases for our country today.
