Freedom doesn't depend on "societal norms." Freedom extends to the point where you violate someone's rights. For example, so-called "hate speech" laws are an infringement on my freedom.They've become what they initially set out to destroy, i.e. the 'norms' of the religious right that set the standards for society. So it's not that they didn't want norms for society back then, they just wanted their norms, and they're far more tyrannical in enforcing them than the 'religious right' ever were.
