Emerging Threats to Religious Liberty from Progressive Policies
The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in international law, and conscience and speech protections are similarly protected. Yet in recent years individuals and communities that adhere to and profess beliefs that are considered insufficiently progressive or “woke”—such as protecting the unborn, defending marriage as the union of one man and one woman, or recognizing the immutability of biological sex—have increasingly been experiencing violations of their rights to religious freedom and speech.
This panel discussed how governments, the U.N,. and advocates of abortion and policies based on sexual orientation and gender identity have targeted religious believers with legal and economic penalties.

The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA = SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE … FOREVER!!!!!!!!
The ultimate stress test of the Bill of Rights is the health of the right of a woman to control her body and the rights of all Americans to marry the person they love!!!
Freedom of religion and the right to say what one believe is a core principle in any civilised society. I am not a young man and never have I seen this under so much assault. Moreover they who attack such attack the very thing they presume to promote. Anyone who says you must agree with me, and refuse to respect your opinion is simply a tyrant. Political correctness is a tyranny spinning out of control.
No body is stopping you from practicing your religion. They are just stopping you from forcing your views on others. The ugly truth is the history of repression that has come under the guise of piety.
This is a BIG one!!!
We need to see God as revealed in the Bible , not as we believe him in our minds, or in our Christian culture. 😊🙏👆🏼🔥
That's why we are in trouble here, we are colonized, also. USA HERE.
YEW- KEEP
SAYING UM!!!
GOOD 👋
