RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IS IMPERILED

On February 16, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice will hold a hearing on “The State of Religious Liberty in America.” Hopefully, it will accelerate the push to secure this most fundamental of freedoms.

President Trump is considering an executive order on religious liberty, the draft of which holds much promise. But legislation is also needed: religious liberty is currently imperiled on several fronts.

The war on religion—and that is exactly what it is—is being led by agents of government and activist groups seeking to impose a militant secular agenda on Americans. What drives them more than any other issue is an irresponsible interpretation of sexual freedom.

The activists and lawmakers pushing this cause accuse many religious institutions of resisting their agenda. They are correct. Traditional Catholics, evangelical Protestants, Orthodox Christians, Orthodox Jews, Mormons, and Muslims, reject abortion and homosexuality, and they find attempts by the government to encroach on their beliefs and practices objectionable. There is much to object to, especially at the state level.

If libs can ignore the “free exercise” clause of the First Amendment, there is no law in the land that’s going to stop them. We need to rid ourselves of the activist judiciary that arbitrarily decides what’s right and wrong without any basis in law, precedent, or common sense.

Religious freedom - true religious freedom - is of paramount importance.

As John Adams said: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Without the modifying influence of the Holy Ghost, this country is will never be the land of the free; the home of the brave. Period.

The evidence to support this has been staring us in the face for decades.
