At first, I thought that this video was just controversial clickbait.
However, after watching it, I believe that this news story brings up some good points regarding the right to Freedom of Religion in America today.
When discussing Freedom of Religion, I would naturally think of either the majority, the well known religions which are still prevalent in America today, such as Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism etc. Otherwise, I would be inclined to think about the controversy over extreme religious freedom, shown through the likes of the KKK, and its presence in America today, as well as prejudice and stereotypes which are directed towards those of a Muslim faith.
Therefore, one of the last religions which I would consider would be Rastafarian. I found this video very interesting, therefore, as it looks at the core beliefs of Rastafarian faith, particularly in relation to marijuana, and how these beliefs are often trivialised and mocked, with viewers often bringing up the issue of "Christian privilege" in relation to Freedom of Religion, in comparison to less popular religions, such as this. This video also explores how the Freedom of Religion can conflict with current laws, particularly drug laws, in America.
