For example, consider the 1st amendment which explicitly describes our first 4 "pillar" freedoms. Freedom of Religion The first "pillar freedom" prohibits the government from making laws EITHER establishing religion, OR prohibiting the free exercise of religion. The same rights that protect every other religious belief also protect ours. Freedom of Speech The second "pillar freedom" prohibits the government from cutting off free speech. Freedom of the press The third "pillar freedom" prohibits the government from cutting off a free press. Freedom of peaceable assembly The fourth "pillar freedom" prohibits the government from cutting off the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Other freedoms in the bill of rights include the right to bear arms, the right against unreasonable search and seizures, protection of rights to life, liberty, and property, rights of accused persons, etc.If you are going to actually have freedom of religion, you have to be free to speak, to publish, and
assemble…Without those three freedoms there can be no freedom of religion.— Armon Eaton
