The subject of education is closely connected with many dimensions concerning with their world. For example, the state education is not free from society, religion, economy, and politics. How should we think about 'Freedom' in and for education? These have been fundamental questions since the time of birth of public education system. Lead by such questions, in order to explore the stance and framework constructed by the theoretical relationship between religion and society in education, this article aims to make clear the religious aspect of the word of 'Freedom' in the New Educational Movement, especially the Movement of New Ideals Education (MNIE, 1914-1939) in Britain by focusing the philosophy of J. S. Mackenzie (1860-1935) who was known as a neo-Hegelian, a brilliant pupil of Edward Caird (1835-1908) in Britain, and chief Professor of department of philosophy in University of Cardiff in Wales. The main reasons of focusing him after his retiring from university are that he participated in MNIE with his wife-M. Mackenzie (1863-1942), who was also a professor of Education in University of Cardiff, and that his cooperation with MINE carried significant ideas about religious aspects of Freedom in education. Therefore, the question why he committed to MINE appears here as a sub-title. And characteristics in this article is that lifelong activities of both E. G. Holmes (1850-1936) who was chief Her Majesty's Inspector and M. Mackenzie, his wife are described. In the conclusion four points emerge as following; (a) J. S. Mackenzie's main subject in his life was to explore something of the metaphysical implications of Humanism, and after the Construction of Social Philosophy he considered about both of cosmos as wholeness and the sprit as human nature, neither tabra rasa nor original sin, and he explored happiness on the earth (b) originally the background of the ideas came from critics both of the way of Modern West-centred Philosophy and the sectionalism of religion in the West, (c) therefore, his interest trended to East Philosophy like Upanishads and of Mysticism concerning with the secrets of Nature, and he made sure that the work of Philosophy should proceed to the direction of getting insight freedom of human being in education, and (d) so similarly this means synthesis with social, religious, and educational themes in the twentleth century, and it was a sub-framework to participants of MNIE. The quest of insight freedom, therefore, became the fundamental work to pioneers in education which he grasped as the essential work of precedent generation, and MNIE headed toward assimilating Humanism and Eastern Thought, which enjoyed making criticism for westernization based on Lock's idea of tubla rasa and Christianity of original sin for children. This article consists of following five sections; I. Introduction: the questions and the stance in this article II. Social Dimension in New Education Movement III. 'New Ideals in Education' and academic people in Universities: Exploration of social and religious subjects in Philosophy IV. The fundamental Quest of J. S. Mackenzie: How was the spirit of human being interpreted by him? V. Conclusion: the Religious freedom as sub-framework in New Education Movement
