Because religious freedom is more than just where you

go to church on Sunday and what you teach your children. Religious liberty is about the ability to practice your faith in the daily activities of your life. Here are some examples of recent attacks on religious liberty:

By acting as though the separation of church and state means that religion sould be banished from all aspects public life.

By forcing employers to pay for contraception and abortificants against their religious beliefs

By having a Senator question one's ability to serve on an appellate court based on their religious beliefs.

By trying to ban Christian colleges and universities from requiring church attendance (see California).

By trying to defund faith based iniatives that serving the public good, when similar acting but secular organizations face no such scrutiny.

By banning public aid to religiously based schools when secular private schools do receive such aid. Not to mention the threats of loss of accreditation and tax status.

By calling out anyone who is opposed to same sex marriage as a bigot (even though President Obama and Hillary Clinton held that belief until 2012)

By forcing people to endorse and support same sex marriage through their artistic work.

By prohibiting Catholic charities from placing adoptions due to their requirement to only place with heterosexual couples.
