What does 'freedom of speech' mean to you in the context of religious and moral debates?

 @9KDNX65 from Illinois answered…3mos3MO

You are allowed to say you are Christian, and have certain moral beliefs, however other people have the right to disagree and live their lives how they want, not how someone else wants.

 @9KJZS4T from Texas agreed…2mos2MO

Everyone is entitled to believe as they choose and shouldn’t be forced to convert to other religions

 @9KDP4LN from Indiana answered…3mos3MO

Any person has the right to believe what they believe and advertise what they believe if they see fit.

 @9KDP558 from Indiana answered…3mos3MO

Others should be allowed to show their religion without the worry of being disregarded or treated unfairly, just because others do not agree.

 @9KDP9DY from Pennsylvania answered…3mos3MO

I am of the mind that religion being used as a moral basis for all moral judgement regardless of religious beliefs is foolish and has historically lead to persecution, discrimination, and murder.

What is your approach to maintaining friendships with those who hold conservative or liberal beliefs contrary to yours?

 @9JL2C3R from Ohio answered…3mos3MO

I believe people can resonate with the beliefs they have and not be judged about it. This is the Land of the Compromise and we often forget it.

 @9JL5Z9N from Wisconsin agreed…3mos3MO

Peoples beliefs should not influence who they are as a person. Many times people use their political beliefs to determine their personality.

 @9JNJRKM from Texas disagreed…3mos3MO

While I do believe that we generally shouldn't judge others and that it is possible to be cordial with people regardless of their political beliefs, I think that some people's views lack morality and can be threatening to others. Because of this, I don't think it's possible for everyone to be civil with those that have differing opinions than them, making it more difficult to create or maintain those relationships.

 @9JL6JZ7 from California agreed…3mos3MO

Your views should not keep you from being friendly and kind. You don't have to agree, but you don't have to be rude about it

 @9JL2M92 from California answered…3mos3MO

I believe its better to surround yourself with those who not only think alike because we sometimes need to hear and see things from a different perspective.

 @9JPWK6J  from Pennsylvania agreed…3mos3MO

I mean like bro you aint the only opinion out there who knows maybe you change your opinion if you surround yourself with peeps who don't have the same opinion as you :(

 @9JL2FKH from Texas answered…3mos3MO

A theocracy is against the teachings of the church and is against the Constitution

What would change in our classrooms if religion played a larger role in the curriculum?

 @9JGSL7N from Pennsylvania answered…4mos4MO

People could be treated differently and not everyone practices the same religion.

 @9JGYSK4 from Montana disagreed…4mos4MO

The Christian religion is essential to understand why the US Government is designed the way it is designed. And if it played a higher role in the curriculum, students of other faiths may learn to respect the Christian religion. It would allow play into what was intended by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were trying to do with our government.

 @9JHZMC8 from Maryland agreed…4mos4MO

not every child is grown up with the same religion and some people have decided on a different rebellion from the one that are consided a social norm

 @9JJ2MH2 from New York agreed…4mos4MO

For some people religion can provide a lot of restrictions, while for others guidance, with that being said not everyone is the same individual so no everyone can be expected to follow it, it would be indoctrination and torture

 @9JGSZ99  from Alabama answered…4mos4MO

What would change in our classrooms if religion played a larger role in the curriculum, would be that more children have the opportunity to learn about God and be saved.

 @9JJ45FY from California disagreed…4mos4MO

Children should not be forced to be exposed to the idea that they need to be “saved” or that their own/ familial ideas are wrong.

 @9JGSZMW from Alabama answered…4mos4MO

I don't think people would really care, you can have peace but not agree with someone's religion. You don't have to fight.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What implications does having leaders with strong religious convictions have on the diversity and inclusivity of society?

 @9JFCRFT from New York answered…4mos4MO

As long as what people are doing doesn’t hurt anyone else physically or isn’t intentionally attacking someone emotionally then you can be and do whatever you want when someone in power makes their own beliefs apart of the land they are trying to run, I believe it puts people who don’t follow the same beliefs in a rough spot and gives certain people with the same beliefs a big head.

 @9JFHZVV from Georgia agreed…4mos4MO

Some people might vote for someone primarily because of their religious beliefs. The person that they voted for might have opposite views on topics that the voter doesn't agree with, but they got voted for because of their personal belief.

 @9JFC573Republican from Utah answered…4mos4MO

I think it depends on whether that person is actively trying to push their beliefs onto society or if they are trying to use their beliefs and morals to improve the state of living and acceptance in society.

 @9JFC44Fanswered…4mos4MO

 @9JFBZ6N from Texas answered…4mos4MO

Leaders with strong religious convictions, to the point that those convictions have a very real possibility of affecting policy, should not exist whatsoever in the United States Government. Those kinds of leaders will drastically and negatively affect our society's progress on diversity and inclusion of peoples.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What does it take to create an inclusive community that values different perspectives on religion and morality?

 @9KNGCJH  from Virginia answered…2mos2MO

9 times out of 10, Christians such as myself will say nothing to a gay individual. The Bible tells us that we shouldn't judge anyone, rather pray for them and love them. Hate the sin, love the individual.

 @9KNJ3D5answered…2mos2MO

To create and grow an inclusive community only takes a few people to start. Having just two people can spread popularity and belief to any individual which can grow religious values.

 @9KNG5M4 from Virginia answered…2mos2MO

 @9KNFWZJ from Ohio answered…2mos2MO

Religion does not have a place in politics. Political action should be secular, religion should remain a guaranteed right in private life.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Can you describe a moment where cultural or religious traditions made a positive impact on your personal development?

 @9KN6XZL from Idaho answered…2mos2MO

I grew up in the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and it has always brought me joy

 @9KNN56H from Utah agreed…2mos2MO

a few people I know left the church and don't like it and I can see a big difference in their lives then people who go to church, the church always strengthen me to be a better person and be myself and make good choices that will make my future.

 @9KN8LFC from Virginia answered…2mos2MO

As a muslim, Islam has truly helped me be the person I've wanted to be. It is truly a religion that disciplines one to succeed in this world and the hereafter. Although my opinion is strong on Islam, I cannot change the opinions of others but I believe it is important for people to explore other religions.

 @9KN74KG from Utah answered…2mos2MO

 @9KN6LFZ from California answered…2mos2MO

It made a positive personal development on me because I got more calm and felt better as a person following the way of Jesus Christ. It made me a better person towards my family and friends and I am still working on it.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would you feel if certain religious holidays became national holidays, regardless of your personal faith?

 @9JFB23W from Texas answered…4mos4MO

I would enjoy my day off and mind my business. I would thank them for giving me a day off

 @9JGRH5MSocialist from Texas agreed…4mos4MO

Given the seperation between church and state, prioritizing one religion over another is harmful. Instead of eliminating national holidays expanding the amount of holidays would provide a better work life balance. Even if you don't subscribe to any religous beliefs the time is free for the person to spend it.

 @9JFB8XBWomen’s Equality from Texas answered…4mos4MO

i think that students should just have some days off to be able to relax not based on any holidays

 @9JGMGC6  from California disagreed…4mos4MO

Unless these certain religious holidays means every holiday that is celebrated by the masses. Otherwise our religious rights are being violated.

 @9JFBCMKRepublican from Oklahoma answered…4mos4MO

I think that it would be awesome. I am a Christian myself so those rights would be amazing.

 @9JFBB9V from Oklahoma answered…4mos4MO

I don’t think religious holidays should become national holidays. People can celebrate these days without it being a nation holiday, plus get time off from school or work if they celebrate.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How should schools approach holidays and celebrations in order to respect and include students from various religious backgrounds?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

How do you engage with peers who may not see eye-to-eye with your core beliefs?
