: The United States is based on the concept of freedom of religion. With the freedom of this religion, each citizen can practice any religion who thinks it is appropriate in his life (for example, you can not engage in religion that hurt yourself or other individuals). What happens to America when freedom of religion is deprived from us and then replaced by the religion of the country? The religion of this kind of country forces all Americans to convert to this religion and thus deprives the constitutional right to religious freedom.
Answers may be found in history and politics. The world has a long war history based on differences in religion, but the United States is formed (at least in part) based on freedom of religion. The United States continues to be very sensitive to religious freedom (the Census Bureau does not recognize religious beliefs), but it is slow to adapt to race discrimination and racism. Racial tension and our results also support the idea that a strong institution is necessary to reduce the potential cost of diversity. Van Alstine et al. (2013) Believe that only developed countries are in the first quarter of international research, and they find that more religious diversity is associated with higher level development. Their conclusion is that stronger institutional protection in more advanced countries is that the benefits of diversity outweigh the costs.

The recent controversy in the United States and France shows the public's tension between religious neutrality and religious freedom. The United States always preferred to recognize universally applicable legitimate religious exemption while refusing exemptions from people who oppose the non-religious nature of the law. Therefore, the United States believes religious freedom exceeds the neutrality of public religion. In order to avoid such conflicts, the United States should expand its religious exemption to include objections to the universally applied law based on long - term concerns.
On 16th January the United States commemorated the day of religious freedom 232 years since the promulgation of the Virginia Religious Freedom Act. This law was later incorporated into the first Amendment to the Constitution as a model to protect religious freedom. US Department of State spokesperson Heather Nauert said at a press conference on January 16, "Protecting and promoting religious freedom is a top priority of the Trump regime ... We will cooperate with partners in Japan and overseas.We will create a world that anyone can share, freedom of thinking, freedom of conscience Please enjoy the freedom of religion. "
