RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

BENEFITS OF RELIGION

FREEDOM TO BELIEVE AND ACT


  • All Americans should remain free to believe and act in the public square based on their beliefs without fear of government penalty.

TRUE TOLERANCE


  • All people do not have to hold the same beliefs to recognize that people should have the freedom to run their businesses in accordance with their values.
  • All people have differences, but being able to still live harmoniously with each other, despite those differences, is what true tolerance is all about.
