Historically, Americans have viewed religious liberty as the 'first freedom' because it strikes at the heart of what it means to be human.
once said that a nation is known by its supreme love, by that one thing around which it orders everything else. With regard to the United States, historically, that supreme love has been— the belief that each person has intrinsic soul-value, is free to keep his or her own convictions about ultimate reality, and should be guaranteed the right to organize his or her life around those convictions.
In a dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Roberts wrote: “The majority graciously suggests that religious believers continue to ‘advocate’ and ‘teach’ their view of marriage.
Finally, and quite ironically, the United States Commission on Civil Rights is among the worst offenders. In aentitled, “Peaceful Coexistence: Reconciling Nondiscrimination Principles with Religious Liberties,” Chairman Martin Castro argued that the concept of religious liberty functions as a mask for hypocrisy, discrimination, intolerance, racism, homophobia, and Christian supremacy, and thus it should lose its status in American public life.
If Mr. Castro and other leftists have their way in demoting religious liberty, the negative consequences will affect everyone in the nation—not just Christians. If religious liberty is discarded, then one ideology, Secular Progressivism, will become theofficial religion of the United States. This move will destabilize our nation in perpetuity, given the fact that Secular Progressivism is an ever-morphing phenomenon, whose views will soon be discarded in favor of tomorrow’s “trending” views.
