Religious liberty is under direct assault. And churches and religious schools are the target. Churches and religious organizations have a constitutional right to ensure that their employees follow their faith. Imagine if a church couldn’t fire a pastor who rejected God or a religious school teacher who taught against the Church’s faith. The Ministerial Exception is the constitutionally based principle that protects churches and religious organizations’ right to hire and fire based on their... read more
It’s time for Obama-era anti-religious liberty rules to go. The Obama Administration made a number of regulatory changes that forced religious organizations and faith-based businesses to jump through extra hoops to receive federal funding or participate in federal programs. Religious organizations are treated unequally. They’re being forced to post disclaimers and referrals to non-religious entities (similar to the forced speech disclosures we defeated at the Supreme Court for pro-life... read more
Christian faith in the military is once again under fire. For years, our brave men and women in the military have been able to choose to select dog tags from a faith-based company that inscribes Bible verses on them. These scripture verses – such as Joshua 1:9 (“Be strong and courageous. . . .”) and Psalm 27:3 (“Though my enemies attack me, I will not fear . . . .”) – have ministered to those in combat. Now, an extreme, anti-Christian group has demanded the Bible verses be banned from dog tags... read more
This is concerning. The abortion-pill mandate is back. Even after defeating it – TWICE – at the Supreme Court, Americans who object to abortions could still be forced to facilitate the provision of abortion-pills anyway. How is this even possible? After we helped defeat the Obama-era abortion-pill mandate in multiple cases, the Trump Administration implemented a new rule providing religious and moral protections against it. But two pro-abortion-run states filed a lawsuit, and a federal court... read more

American Pastor Bryan Nerren – a U.S. citizen – has been arrested and detained in India because of his Christian faith. After more than 17 years ministering to the people of Nepal and India – training Sunday School teachers – he was stopped on his way to a conference in India. He was questioned about his Christian faith and whether funds he was carrying would be used to support any Christian work; he was subsequently arrested and has been detained in India since October 5, 2019. Now he is... read more
The Left is criminalizing the execution of the U.S. Constitution. The Deep State is undermining the rule of law and the conservative agenda. This is a constitutional moment for the American people. It’s a really big deal. It puts our republic at risk. Nearly every day there is a new leak, a new fake accusation, a new attempt to stop the President from doing his job, a new attempt to push the same false narrative on the American people. What we’re seeing today is, without a doubt, the shredding... read more
The state of New York passed one of the most barbaric abortion laws in U.S. history, essentially making it legal to abort a baby at any stage of pregnancy, up to the moment of birth. Now, this horrific expansion of abortion is spreading internationally. Laws are being proposed worldwide to expand abortion to the moment of birth and to undo conscience protections for medical professionals and those who are saving lives. These New York-style barbaric abortion bills would add nations like New... read more
Churches and religious charities are pressured – sometimes even forced – to disregard their faith by the government. Christian schools are being barred from public funding on the basis of their religious beliefs. The right to hire individuals who share a church or a charity’s faith and the right to free exercise of their religious mission are two of the most important rights a religious organization possesses. Federal law and the Constitution protect the rights of churches and religious... read more
Imagine being targeted by the government for saying "Jesus loves you." It sounds shocking, but it's happening in America right now. We’re taking legal action to fight back. A Virginia state agency has targeted, harassed, and discriminated against a Christian realtor just for putting a Bible verse (John 3:16) on her website and including "Jesus loves you" in her email signature. No one should be targeted by government agencies for expressing their Christian faith. Targeted harassment and... read more
Pro-life doctors and nurses are pressured and even forced into assisting in abortions. Pharmacists are targeted for refusing to dispense abortion pills. The right of conscience – the right not to violate one’s faith – is one of the most sacred rights we all possess. Federal laws protect medical professionals and religious hospitals from being forced to violate their faith – from being forced to perform, promote, or be involved in abortions. But many times these federal laws are ignored or... read more
