Freedom From Religion - Part 2 - What is Santeria?

 The second part of my video series is posted.

Comments and challenges are welcome.

In part two of this documentary series I explore the origins of Santeria and show what happens as the conflict in Wilmington escalates.

Freedom From Religion asks the questions:

- When does one persons freedom begin to take away another persons freedom?

- What are the rights of a practitioner of a minority religion...and what are the responsibilities?

- Would we be better off WITHOUT religion?

If you have experience with Santeria, or have a story about religion to tell, please contact me and you might become part of future Freedom From Religion webisodes!

This video is for educational purposes only.

Fucked up scenario.Keep us

Fucked up scenario.
Keep us updated with the next segments.
I'd like to see what happens next, whether there was ever a resolution.



In answer to your question, I don't see religion as the problem in this case.
He wasn't being supported by either the law or his church. Both were opposed to his actions and tried to stop him.
The problem was that he was able to flout the law, harass his neighbours and get away with it.
The guy was an unreasonable asshole and if it hadn't been his animal sacrifice rituals then I expect that he'd have been a dick about something else.

Thanks for an interesting

Thanks for an interesting series.

Hopefully you don't take too long making each episode - I wanna know what happens next!

Why can't people accept that Atheism is by definition no faith? I don't believe in Atheism, I simply am Atheist.
