Freedom of religion is considered by many people and nations to be a fundamental human right
http://ourconstitutionalrights.com/rights-pages/religion.html
In a country with a state religion, freedom of religion is generally considered to mean that the government permits religious practices of other sects besides the state religion, and does not persecute believers in other faiths
Freedom of religion or Freedom of belief is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion

The freedom to leave or discontinue membership in a religion or religious group —in religious terms called "apostasy" — is also a fundamental part of religious freedom, covered by Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. [2]

Great Explanation I agree with you couldn’t say it better myself.

This idea came from because people believe when the original constitution was created there was significant opposition due to the lack of adequate guarantees for civil freedoms
