Oct 20, 2017 by Liz Hayes in Wall of Separation

During last week’s Values Voter Summit, I heard speakers like former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and researcher/author George Barna lament the shrinking “biblical worldview” of the American electorate.

“We are dropping like a rock in America. America!” Bachmann said. “That’s something that should give us pause.”

The problem for ADF is that the poll doesn’t actually show that at all.

Religious Freedom And Social Justice Are Not In Conflict

Oct 12, 2017 by Rokia Hassanein in Wall of Separation

On Monday, a group of conservative Christian women gathered for a prayer rally at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to criticize feminist activists and church-state separation. 

“For years, the feminists lied to us,” author Lisa Bevere said during the event, as the crowd cheered, according to The Washington Post. “They said for us to be powerful as women, we needed to act like men.”
