Part 1

Answer first 4 questions each 1n at least 100 words and 1 reference each

1- State the benefits, if any, of religious disestablishment in America. Are there any drawbacks? Explain.

2- What restrictions, if any, do you believe should apply to religious expressions in our culture? Explain.

3- Article 6, of the 1st amendment and 14th amendment disestablished religion from the state and established the free exercise of religion.

Free exercise extends beliefs but not to subversive actions arising from those beliefs, because it disrupts social order.

The key principle here is that no government shall establish religion; no government shall interfere with religion, however there is room for benevolent neutrality without sponsorship or interference. Any examples?

4-This week, we tackle two very controversial topics in sociology of religion; religious disestablishment and freedom of religion. In this Class Assessment of Teaching (CAT), please write a brief statement that recalls, summarizes, questions and connects meaningfully the sociohistorical path of American religious life. Indicate if you believe in separation of church and state and why?
