Religion

Religion has always played a big role in my life and having the freedom to have such an important thing in my life is part of my American Dream. My memories of a child and until I graduated high school, were of going to church every Sunday morning and evening and Wednesday evenings. Rain, snow or ice my parents always made sure we were in church, and for that I am thankful.

We are blessed to have the freedom to believe or worship whatever we want, whether it's Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, etc. In the United States, freedom of religion is a constitutionally guaranteed right provided in the religion clauses of the First Amendment (http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html). Other countries are not as fortunate as us where people are persecuted for their beliefs or citizens are restricted to one faith.
Whether people are atheist, go to church or simply believe but don't participate in church at least we have the freedom to choose.
