This Matters with Bill Britt

Faith must never become a test of belonging

Faith can guide citizens, but constitutional freedom requires government to protect every conscience without favoring one religion over any other.

Faith is an essential American freedom. It must never become a test of who belongs in America.

“In God We Trust” may be printed on every dollar, but a nation’s commitment to religious liberty is measured by how it treats those who believe differently—or do not believe at all.

In this edition of “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines the difference between religious faith and religious coercion, and why the First Amendment must protect every American’s liberty of conscience.
