“The foundational American principle of church-state separation promises freedom without favor and equality without exception for everyone. The federal government is reneging on that constitutional promise by allowing a taxpayer-funded agency to discriminate against Kelly Easter because she doesn’t live according to its religious beliefs," said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.

“Religious freedom doesn’t provide immunity from life-threatening diseases or from laws that are meant to protect everyone equally. The court should uphold New York’s vaccination requirements because they protect health care workers and the vulnerable patients they serve," said Alex J. Luchenitser, associate vice president and associate legal director of Americans United.

"The Supreme Court should not force the City of Boston to fly a Christian flag at city hall," said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United. "It was bad enough when the Court ignored church-state separation by allowing a towering Christian cross to remain on public land in Bladensburg, Maryland. But to force any American city to erect new religious displays would not only undermine the foundational principle of church-state separation, it would play right into the hands of Christian nationalists who want the government to force everyone to live by their beliefs."

“The Supreme Court should strike down Mississippi’s abortion ban and uphold the foundational American principle of church-state separation, ensuring that all of us are free to live and believe as we choose and make our own decisions about reproductive health care,” said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.

“The Do No Harm Act will uphold our country’s founding principle of religious freedom – that everyone has the freedom to believe as they want, but our laws cannot allow anyone to use their religious beliefs to harm others," said AU CEO Rachel Laser.
