Religious Freedom
Freedom's obligation is the theme for this year's voice of democracy essay contest. Of all of the freedom's we have, religious freedom is the most important right any human can hold. Freedom of religion is many things to many people. To one, it is the right of a United States citizen to worship freely what they deem worthy of worship. To another, this right may entail sharing a personal belief with others. To everyone, it is what makes America great, the cornerstone to the democracy.

The Bible says directly "men love darkness rather than light" (John 3:19). Instead of desiring to break out of the jail cell of sin they enjoy the darkness of it and despise the shining light of liberty. es clearly in Galatians 5:1 that we are to "standfast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free."
