Assaults on Religious Freedom Are Not in Your Head: Documented Incidents of Hostility to Religion in the U.S. Show 76 Percent Increase in Past 3 Years"While every section of the report shows an increase in the suppression of religious freedom, the area section dealing with human sexuality showed the greatest increase in the level of hostility to religious beliefs. This trend was apparent in the last report, and following the Supreme Court's decision redefining marriage, is even clearer now. In a society like ours, we must be the guardians of our own freedom.” -- Travis Weber
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made the following comments regarding the increasing incidents of government-based hostility toward religious expression: "The recent spike in government driven religious hostility is sadly not surprising, especially considering the Obama administration's antagonism toward Biblical Christianity. The report underscores the legitimacy of the actions taken by the Trump administration to end the policies and practices in federal agencies that fan the flames of this religious intolerance. The increase in reported cases not only reflects the growing hostility, but also the growing courage of Christians, especially young Christians, to defend both their faith and their freedoms.
Travis Weber, Director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, added the following comments: "While every section of the report shows an increase in the suppression of religious freedom, the area section dealing with human sexuality showed the greatest increase in the level of hostility to religious beliefs. This trend was apparent in the last report, and following the Supreme Court's decision redefining marriage, is even clearer now. In a society like ours, we must be the guardians of our own freedom. Anyone who desires freedom in the future must take note of what these trends tell us about our freedom right now—relative to where we have come from—in order to protect freedom going forward," concluded Weber.
