In the United States, according to the First Amendment of the Constitution, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."(1)  So, as a U.S. citizen, I have the right to freely excercise my religion--which is Christianity.  Unfortunately, in many countries around the world, Christians don't have this same right.  And, on today's Footsteps, David Arthur of Precept Ministries International points out the price that some Christians have paid for doing nothing more than participating in a Bible study.
