Blog PostTrump Panders To Christian Nationalists Once Again – This Time With Public Health Guidance
The Trump administration is wrong. Restrictions to protect public health don’t violate religious freedom; they ensure religious freedom is not misused in ways that risk people’s lives.
Blog PostAmerica’s Faith Leaders Are Not Impressed With Trump’s Bible Stunt
U.S. faith leaders are appalled at President Donald Trump’s decision to walk to a D.C. church and wave a Bible for a photo op.
Press ReleaseSupreme Court Protects Religious Freedom, Public Health By Allowing California Order To Stand
“The Supreme Court’s order allows Governor Newsom to protect the health and religious freedom of the people of California. Governor Newsom’s public health order, which applies to both religious and secular gatherings, does not violate religious freedom; it advances it by ensuring that the government is not favoring some people’s religious practices in a way that endangers other people’s lives," said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.
Press ReleaseTrump’s Reckless Demand That Governors Reopen Houses of Worship Undermines Public Health and Religious Freedom
“President Trump’s demand that governors allow all houses of worship to reopen this weekend is irresponsible and reckless – and tragically, will lead to more deaths. Trump’s cynical pandering to his religious extremist base is putting the health and well-being of the American people in jeopardy," said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.
This is an actual threat to religious freedom. So we can expect conservative legal groups that scream about their distorted claims of religious freedom not to say anything -- just like they were silent about Trump's Muslim Ban. https://t.co/GWlcSrnr69
