The Oath

We examine Freedom of Religion, as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. This episode is in two parts - created by Madison and his peers: the Establishment Clause, and the Exercise Clause. We ask: what factors led the United States to embrace these concepts? Have we ever been a truly secular nation? How has the relationship between government and religion changed over time? And lastly, how are we to understand freedom of religion as members of the military?

What is The Oath?

What is the connection between the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights. What are your "rights" as a Naval Officer? Do you still have rights under the Constitution?
