The first amendment states that the congress can’t tell you to practice or not practice your religion and can’t tell you what to say and were to say it. Let me show you why it’s important.
Let’s say you were home, all relaxed, watching TV, when suddenly the news say that a new law was made saying you have to practice your religion when you don’t. The government can’t do that because of the first amendment.
The first amendment also says that you can say whatever you want, but there are consequences like if you say something bad about the government, they can’t stop you but you might lose your job.
In conclusion, without the first amendment we would have no voice and have congress tell us if we can or can’t practice our religion. That is why the first amendment is the most important.
