While growing religious pluralism (which includes the right to be entirely non-religious) may alarm Christian nationalists, who react with dismay to any faith that is not their own, most Americans welcome it.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate on Feb. 28 reintroduced legislation that will provide critical protections for religious freedom.

“We need to pass the Do No Harm Act now more than ever to protect people like our client Aimee Maddonna, who wanted to help children in foster care, but was turned away by a government-funded agency for being the ‘wrong’ religion,” said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United. “We urge all members of Congress to support this legislation and defend religious freedom, one of our country’s most sacred principles.”
