Can you imagine where we would be if good people and organizations like ours did not stand against the deception at work in the United States? I can guarantee that your religious freedom would have already been stifled if it were not for the work that God is doing through Advocates for Faith & Freedom and others who are like-minded.
It is no secret that government overreach on religious freedom was unprecedented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Local governments imposed harsh restrictions on religious exercise and even penalized churches for keeping their doors open. Throughout the pandemic, Advocates remained steadfastly committed to defending the right of churches to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, we are thrilled to announce our tireless work paid off, as we were able to secure two successful settlements.
Religious freedom is the one freedom that safeguards conscience, allows Americans to live out their faith, and makes the nation stronger. Though it is a fundamental right enshrined in the US Constitution, today there are various factors putting religious freedoms at risk, including discrimination in the workplace, censorship on social media platforms, and government-imposed restrictions during the pandemic. Big tech, employers, and landlords are trampling on the Free Exercise Clause by discriminating against individuals on the basis of their religious beliefs.
