Is freedom countable or uncountable?
The answer is simple - just look it up in a dictionary.
/does that make a dictionary a law?
/if yes,
/then who writes, publishes and promotes that law?
The question is political.
Freedom is always uncountable.
If there is a need to use it in an countable way,
then
replace it with right.
So,
the four "freedoms"
are
the four rights.

An Italian story, maybe, goes like this
The God and the Devil watch
how the peasant
collects/picks up/... scattered around pieces of the Truth
one by one/piece by piece.
The God asks the Devil
"Doesn't it bother you that the peasant will finally find out the Truth?"
To which the Devil replies
"Don't worry, I'll help him put the pieces together."

One way to think about it is
that
the "Devil" has 2 meanings/sides:
- person/"person";
- error, mistake, mislead, ...
So, the Devil, as a "person",
convinces you
that
you make no mistakes, no errors, ...
that
everything
is
true and genuine.
//but so does the God
//two meanings
/ - person/"person"
/ - (you are/do) right, good deeds, ...
/in another words
