What do you think? Should we be free enough to decide as individuals? This is the debate here. The formation of the United States came near the end of the 1700's A.D. and they wanted more religious and individual freedoms because they felt they were not getting enough liberties and rights and choices from King George in England. The American birth year is 1776 and a book with contrast to that is a book named 1984 which is also the year before my birth in 1985. Is religion good or bad? Is secularism more dangerous or what?
