About 2/2: … What Do We Believe?

• Freedom of religion is a basic human right that no government may lawfully deny; it is not a gift of the state, but instead is rooted in the inherent dignity of the human person. Religious expression (of all traditions) is a natural part of life in a free society, and religious arguments (on all sides of a question) are a normal and healthy element of public debate.  Religious people and institutions are entitled to participate in public life on an equal basis with everyone else, and should not be excluded for professing their faith.   Continuer la lecture de « The Becket Fund for religious liberty »
