Quote by Lamar S. Smith

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freed

Summary

This quote suggests that while the Constitution of a given country grants individuals the freedom to practice any religion they choose, it does not grant the freedom to completely avoid or ignore the influence of religion in society. In other words, the Constitution does not guarantee freedom from the presence or influence of religious beliefs or institutions in public or private life.
