Overview The First Amendment of the Freedom of Religion Two clauses in the First Amendment guarantee Freedom of Speech / Freedom of the Press The most basic component of freedom of expression is the right to freedom of speech. A less stringent test is applied for content-neutral legislation. The Supreme Court has also recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence. For more unprotected and less protected categories of speech see Despite the popular misunderstanding, the right to freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment is not very different from the right to freedom of speech.

Norman Rockwell (above in a 1968 photograph by Garry Camp Burdick), who created more than 300 original covers for the Saturday Evening Post over the course of his long career, was already widely known for his rich visualizations of the American dream when he set about the challenging task of animating FDR's Four Freedoms. NPG, © 1968 Garry Camp Burdick Norman Rockwell, the master of Americana, Four Freedoms. By illuminating rights that every American—and every person—should enjoy, Rockwell’s Four Freedoms validated the U.S. decision to enter World War II and overcome powerful enemies whose actions devalued human life. His enduring messages have lingered in the national consciousness, remaining as significant today as they were when the Saturday Evening Post published them in four consecutive weeks during the winter of 1943. Rockwell’s images had a clear meaning, says the Smithsonian’s “American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith,” which features a large set of the original Four Freedoms war bond posters from 1943. Immediately after publishing Rockwell’s four paintings— Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear—the magazine received 25,000 requests to purchase copies. Color reproductions of all four sold for 25 cents apiece. The paintings became the basis for 4 million war posters sold as part of the War Bonds effort, raising $132,992,539. “They were received by the public with more enthusiasm, perhaps, than any other paintings in the his...

NOEL KING, HOST: The principle of religious freedom in America used to be a bipartisan issue. Twenty-five years ago, Congress approved the Religious Freedom Restoration Act almost unanimously. But that consensus has unraveled. Our religion correspondent Tom Gjelten sees a growing debate over what religious freedom actually means. TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: Religious freedom is part of America's foundation because it was colonized by people who experienced religious persecution. Baptists and others wanted freedom from the semi-official Anglican church establishment. Later on, Seventh-day Adventists were among those pushing for religious liberty. They had a faith tradition of their own, though their places of worship looked like other Christian churches. (SOUNDBITE OF DOOR CLOSING) SAMUEL DADE: Yeah. I mean, it's mainstream. GJELTEN: In Orlando, Fla., Pastor Samuel Dale (ph) shows me around his Solid Rock Seventh-day Adventist Church. DADE: I mean, if you were to show up on a Sabbath, much of the liturgy and everything is going to be identical. The only difference is we hold church on Saturday. GJELTEN: Adventists take seriously the biblical story that God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh. So they do the same. One of Pastor Dale's longtime congregants, Darrell Patterson (ph), is here. He points to his pew. DARRELL PATTERSON: I can tell you precisely, my wife and I sit right over here, behind... GJELTEN: Patterson is close to Pastor Dale because the minister sto...
