On January 16th, America celebrated National Religious Freedom Day. At ACRU, we list our Constitutional religious freedom where the Founders did-first. To commemorate the 1786 Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom authored by Thomas Jefferson, President Trump issued a proclamation honoring our nation’s founding in religious freedom but noting “the fundamental right to religious freedom is under attack.” In America, there is room for everyone’s rights. Freedom to worship or not worship. Freedom to make whatever life choices one wants to make. What should never be accepted is the “freedom” of one group to oppress the freedoms of others. Thanks to David Closson at the National Review for this great article about “a radical idea from the Founding Fathers that still works today.”
