Christian Post - ACLJ Lawyer Testifies to Congress on Religious Freedom

By Daniel Distant, ChristianPost.com

The Senior Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, Colby May has testified to Congress Tuesday on the recent threats to American religious liberty.

May read a series of prepared remarks yesterday, after which the members present were allowed to dialogue May about his statement and the ideas the ACLJ was proposing.

May started off by referring to the values held dear by the Founding Fathers. Although religious liberty is guaranteed by the Constitution to prevent faith-based persecution, May asserted that Congress must remain vigilant for that right to stay intact.

He also cited the RLUIPA Act, which basically cemented freedom from religious discrimination regarding land use.

To May, this, along with other acts like the Equal Access Act (allowing religious students to meet in schools), are the kind of commendable steps congress has taken to protect religious freedoms. . . .
