The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is a non-profit, public-interest legal and educational institute that protects the free expression of all faiths. The Becket Fund exists to vindicate a simple but frequently neglected principle: that because the religious impulse is natural to human beings, religious expression is natural to human culture. We advance that principle in three arenas-the courts of law, the court of public opinion, and the academy-both in the United States and abroad.
At the Becket Fund we like to say we've defended the religious rights of people from "A to Z," from Anglicans to Zoroastrians. Our supporters represent a myriad of religions, but they all share our common vision of a world where religious freedom is respected as a fundamental human right that all are entitled to enjoy and exercise.
In defending these ideas, in theory and in practice, we find ourselves at the crossroads of church and state.
Religious freedom doesn't mean you are free to use your religion to discriminate against fellow citizens. The right to your beliefs ends at the tip of your nose.
@dalecrowe7757 I agree with you , but the Republican/Fascist Party doesn’t seem to understand this basic Constitutional truth. Regardless of one’s views on religious beliefs, Americans in many states are being FORCED to comply with the narrow, inane dictates of Catholics and their hillbilly Evangelical cousins.
Feel free to feel that way just as long as you keep those ideas out of politics!!!!!!!!!!
Employment Division, Department of Human Resources of Oregon v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872, is a United States Supreme Court case that held that the state could deny unemployment benefits to a person fired for violating a state prohibition on the use of peyote even though the use of the drug was part of a religious ritual.
