For example, if a person believes Judaism and wears a beard for religious reasons it is almost impossible for him to get a job in the non Jewish world because companies create "clean shaven" policies. In a round about way, the company has found a way to discriminate without the hostile backlash. If a different person believes shamanism and wants to smoke opium for religious purposes, he becomes an instant criminal. Every group could probably list major grievances against society and government for limiting the expression of their faith. The examples go on of societal and government control of religious expression. It seems that religious freedom is only true as long as it doesn't violate social "norms". Do you think our freedom the religion is as true as the propagandists herald? Why or why not?
