What's at Stake

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that 鈥淐ongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.鈥澛燗s enshrined in the First Amendment, religious freedom includes two complementary protections: the right to religious belief and expression and a guarantee that the government neither prefers religion over non-religion nor favors particular faiths over others. These dual protections work hand in hand, allowing religious liberty to thrive and safeguarding both religion and government from the undue influences of the other.

From our foundational work on behalf of conscientious objectors to our historic defense of John T. Scopes during the infamous 鈥淪copes Monkey Trial鈥 of 1925, the 桃子视频has been the national leader in the struggle for religious freedom.聽Building on that near-century of work, the 桃子视频employs an integrated strategy of litigation, public education, and advocacy to protect religious liberty.
