Freedom of religion is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion (1).
The freedom of religion is obviously a human right, but it shouldn't be the most important into the human life, because in the past it would make many pain, and has taken millions of innocent lives, due to the negligence of fanatic religious people.
One of that call "irresponsible" religious has been the Christian Science, It is practiced by members of the Church of Christ, Scientist, as well as some others who are nonmembers. They asserts that humanity and the universe as a whole are, in their true being, spiritual rather than material and that goodness and truth are real, whereas evil and error are illusory aspects of material existence. Christian Scientists believe that through prayer, knowing and understanding, all things would be possible for good through God.
Namely a single and special case, when the religious principles has putting ahead of constitutional and human rights, could find the Amy's case. Amy was a little girl with blond hair and bubbly ways.Amy's parents are Christian Scientist, and unfortunately, they decided to try to heal the child with prayer rather than seek a doctor's, this situation ending with the Amy's dead. They had better make another choose, but didn't.
Amy's parents were scheduled to go on trial, on charges of third-degree murder and felony child abuse. They have maintained that prosecutors wanted to violate their constitutional right of religious freedom, and, that treated their daughter with proven method of healing.
The Christian Scientist said that they would was doing any different thing than the medical treatment used to do.
The Medical Examiner concluded that medical treatment up just hours before

Prior to 1700, the British North American colonies had conflicting outlooks on the extent of religious freedom in the new world based on the different acts of the British Empire and by the English origin of most of the settlers. New England was mostly comprised of Puritans, the Middle Colonies consisted of Quakers, and the South was more concerned about using the land to make money and didn’t emphasize on religion.…

    In our history as a Nation, we have had some conflicts that have arisen when this occurs and it can be difficult to define what it means to have religious freedom. It should not come as a surprise to us that this may be a conflict in our future. Religion is an asset in our human lives that has directed us toward morality from the beginning of humanity as religions have grown in diversity. There is no category to which it belongs; therefore, it is difficult to face this problem head on when there may be some concrete obstacles that cannot be overlooked. As difficult as it may be to say this, there will not be a point in time when there are conflicts, big and small, that some rules where we cannot always accommodate everyone’s needs.

    No citizen can be forced to do something that violates his or her religious views, so the First Amendment protects all those who strongly believe in any religion. No religion is considered more important than another, and no one can be discriminated against based on that religion, meaning that even private businesses can make decisions based on their religious views without punishment. The religious freedom and toleration created by the First Amendment should be considered in laws, social issues, and government actions.…

    On January 6, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his “State of the Union Address,” in which he gave four essential human freedoms that everyone, everywhere must possess: Freedom to worship, freedom of speech, freedom from fear and freedom from want. He states these freedoms to be “a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.” Roosevelt gives the idea that with these four freedoms, people are able to successfully work together in a civilized society.
