these two powerful

0:26
forces first and foremost let's define
0:28
what we mean by faith and freedom faith
0:31
is often described as having complete
0:33
trust or confidence in something or
0:35
someone especially in a religious
0:36
context it is a belief or conviction in
0:39
something that cannot be seen or proven
0:41
freedom on the other hand is the power
0:43
or right to act speak or think as one
0:45
wants without hindrance or restraint it
0:47
is the state of being free from
0:49
oppression or
0:53
coercion at first glance it may seem
0:55
like faith and freedom have little in
0:57
common one is a spiritual concept while
0:59
the other is a political one however
1:02
upon closer examination we can see that
1:04
they are deeply connected Faith gives
1:06
people the strength to persevere through
1:08
difficult times and challenges it
1:11
provides hope and motivation to continue
1:13
fighting for what is right and just in
1:16
many cases it has been the driving force
1:19
behind social and political movements
1:20
for
1:24
Freedom throughout history we have seen

countless examples of individuals who
1:28
have used their faith to fight for for
1:30

Mahatma Gandhi these leaders were Guided
1:34
by their beliefs to stand up against

Injustice and oppression their
1:38
unwavering Faith gave them the courage
1:40
to speak out and take action even in the
1:43
face of
1:46
adversity on the other hand Freedom also
1:49
plays a crucial role in allowing
1:50
individuals to practice their faith
1:52
freely the ability to choose one's
1:54
religion or belief system without fear
1:56
of persecution is a fundamental aspect
1:59
of freedom
2:00
without this Liberty people would be
2:02
forced to conform to a certain set of
2:04
beliefs or practices hindering their
2:06
ability to express their

2:10
faith furthermore faith and freedom both
2:13
promote personal growth and development
2:15
they encourage individuals to think for
2:17
themselves and make choices that align
2:19
with their values and beliefs Faith

individual Freedom allows for diversity
2:42
and tolerance of different beliefs and
2:43
religions it promotes a sense of unity
2:46
and mutual respect among its citizens in
2:49
contrast a society without Freedom or
2:51
one where only a specific faith is
2:53
allowed can lead to conflict oppression
2:55
and division we have seen this play out
2:57
in history where societies that have
2:59
limited or restricted religious freedom
3:01
have faced internal strife and
3:05
unrest in today's world we are
3:08
witnessing a growing trend of religious
3:10
intolerance and discrimination people
3:12
are being persecuted for their beliefs
3:14
and governments are imposing
3:16
restrictions on religious practices this
3:18
not only goes against the principles of
3:20
freedom but also hinders the growth and
3:22
progress of
3:26
societies in conclusion faith and
3:29
freedom are are intrinsically linked
3:31
each supporting and reinforcing the
3:32
