That statement's pretty vague without defining "freedom". And if you go on that journey, you'll find out it'll be a long one that never ends. For instance, for whom do you define freedom? Freedom to do what? Freedom from what?
>society moves forward freedom continues to grow
That's a big claim to say we have more freedoms now. We're encumbered by far more laws now than almost any time in history and watched by more authorities than anyone in history who have access to far more systems to know who you are, when you are, etc. Those same authorities also have more power than ever to execute those powers for "justice" and more power than ever to catch you. But hey, at least you have material freedoms, now you can choose Coke or Pepsi and forget about the other freedoms closing in around you.
