“Many Americans are beginning to wonder if the increase in crime and lawlessness has anything to do with the tremendous freedom which Americans enjoy. Many are inclined to think that the great liberties of the Constitution, especially of the First Amendment, have been progressively abused by every succeeding generation especially since the 1960’s.

Religionists and sociologists are suggesting that unrestricted freedom without morality is pushing American society to a dangerous extreme. Furthermore, the recent increase in the number of what are called bizarre cults with mass ceremonial suicides, has some to begin to doubt the wisdom and relevance of First Amendment religious liberties."
