One of the questions I had was what are the limits of freedom of religion? For example, the christian science (i think thats what it was called) didn't let people get medicine or go to doctors or etc., then someone died because of that. Does the freedom of religion cover that? Or is it considered murder? Also would violent protests be considered under freedom of speech?
In the christian science one, the freedom of religion came out on top at the high court. At the lower level court though, murder came out on top. Some places are still not sure. I'm not sure what i'm supposed to know for that one. It is a really wierd case and I don't knw what to think of it.

Limits of freedom of religion:
- your practice can never violate civil law
- The main limitation regarding freedom of religion is simply that the dominant creed will no longer dictate the laws of the state. Freedom of religion dictates that secular beliefs must no longer be allowed to unfairly influence the state into encroaching upon the unalienable right of every individual to live or die as he/she choose.
- Congress cannot pass any laws respecting the establishment of religion
- prohibits the government from interfering with the practice of one's religion so long as it is practiced within the laws of the United States
In most cases, violent protests are not covered by the first amendment which is reasonable.
