When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
True?

Yes. Interesting question.
People are limited by many things - and many people limit theirselves by not thinking for their own. They follow tradition because of tradition; not because they think for theirselves.
They won't become their own individual selves, and therefor missing their essence.

False.
Neither law or religion have restrain the ability to consciously question either one.
It is not the institutions that bind, but the meddle of the one who would dare undertake the task of discovering what they really think and challenge the social slavery they were born into.
You always have to freedom to ask yourself the pros and cons of any issue; the only question is, will a person take that most fearsome of steps and do so?

False.
Ideally speaking, law and duty already are one. Show me a law that restricts me in my duty without justification, and i'll agree with that statement.
As far as religion goes, if you blindly accept that, law, or duty, you're already comatose. Don't worry about it.
