Six Attacks on Churches’ Religious Freedom
Offenses violating the religious freedom of churches are growing more frequent. Here are six examples of those offenses – and why our adversaries are wrong.
First Liberty Institute recently declared victory after sending a demand letter to the Civil Rights Commission in Iowa, which attempted to control how churches could teach, preach, and operate.
Cornerstone World Outreach, a church in Sioux City, Iowa, contacted First Liberty after the Commission issued a brochure stating that churches were not exempt from laws regarding gender and sexuality. Though First Liberty was able to restore the rights of Cornerstone World Outreach and other Iowa churches thanks to the Commission’s swift action in revising their policy, the matter itself signaled a dangerous new trend.
The one place Americans thought their faith was safe—their house of worship—has now been tested. This most recent example serves as a wake-up call to the secularists’ hostile push to remove religion from the public sphere and exemplifies the threat against the sovereignty of houses of worship.
