When I think of the first amendment, it is filled with the most important and crucial rights for an american citizen. I think that the seperation from church and state is needed inside the government for many reasons. For example if canidates of different religions run for office, people who have the same religion will vote for him, and not necessarily what the canidate's political views are. I also think that it would effect how someone thinks according to their religion, and rights may side to other people's religions. The limits placed on religion is that you have a hard time expressing your religion to the public, and you can be an extremists.
I think that these are fair because other people may make judgments in you based on your religion. Right now, we are shunning the arabs and the entire muslim religion because of what some extremists did to the country, and we are making judgements on all muslims, when it should be a freedom of religion unless you are an extremist.
