Thank God For protection of our most fundamental rights of religious free exercise.
God Bless Trump in this important work restoring freedom to believers, where they are not discriminated against at the Federal level. We hope also the private sector stops firing and mandating anti-Christian practices so Christians leave various positions out of devotion to the mainstream beliefs of all generations. Please see "ERRADICATING ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS" Executive Order from February 6th, 2025 https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/eradicating-anti-christian-bias/
In addition to numerous rights on the books that protect our religious free expression from any abridgement or suppression, in recent years these protections have been increased within the "Laws of the Land":
1. The 2022 "Respect For Marriage Act" Pub Law 117-228 Guarantees to the church in section 6 (b) that "any refusal to provide services, facilities, accommodations, advantages, goods, or priviledges (not forced to condone or promote such within our church, whether same-sex marriages or inter-racial marriages outlined in this law) shall not create any civil claim or cause of action."
2. The 2018 "First Amendment Defense Act" S.2525 "A bill to ensure that the Federal Government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially on the basis that such person speaks, or acts, in accordance with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction that marriage is or should be recognized as a union of one man and one woman, or two individuals as recognized under Federal law, or that sexual relations outside marriage are improper."
3. The 2017 Trump Executive Order 13798—Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty, directing the executive branch to rigorously defend the federal laws that protect free speech of churches.
4. The pending Audit of all Federal laws against the Glucksberg Test:
The 2022 Overturn of Roe v Wade, US Supreme Court re-affirmed the Glucksberg test as the method to determine if a right must be protected by the Federal government, namely that anything not "deeply rooted in history and traditions of the people" is not a Federally protected right. These rights would have to be clearly upheld deep into American history, for example as this rule was applied recently in the McDonald v Chicago case to be satisfied by the English Bill of Rights from the 1600s regarding keeping and bearing arms.
5. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.), further prohibit government interference with Americans’ rights to exercise their religion.
6. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.), prohibits religious discrimination in employment while Federal hate-crime laws prohibit offenses committed due to religious animus.Frontier Theme
