In the beginning of the poem‚ the

Do we have more freedoms than the older generations? What roads have been paved for us and what disadvantages are we facing now?

In the United States‚ the political mainstream describes a "separation of church and state‚" in order to separate this profound force of religion from the public lives of its citizens. Thus‚ the freedom to worship any religion remains a private and personal issue. However‚ in this imperfect world‚ it becomes virtually impossible to achieve this kind of separation. Some subtle examples of this can be
