We have religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. There is no need for a constitutional amendment.
And for churches, well, in a few more years it really won’t matter:
Christianity faces sharp decline as Americans are becoming even less affiliated with religion
“We have religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. There is no need for a constitutional amendment.”
I’m sure Aaron and Melissa Klein, the Oregon bakers facing a $135,000.00 fine for their religious convictions will be happy to hear about that.
Obama has said many times that Americans are free to worship as we choose. That’s an important turn of phrase. I question whether he and his minions believe that we are free to practice our religions in our daily lives, as opposed to just on Sunday at 9 am.
This won’t be about government “forcing” anyone to do anything. Corporate taxes, property taxes and loss of deductibility of donations will take care of that. Besides many so-called Christian churches will be more than happy to disregard those two thousand year old letters and marry whoever the government says they should.
