Our Position on Conscience Protections
Free speech, including "religious freedom", is guaranteed protection from Federal government interference by the first amendment. Religious Freedom includes religious beliefs and associated speech in the practice of one's religion and spiritual beliefs.
Our individual beliefs are protected from harm by other citizens through a concept called, "Conscience Protections". The Founding Fathers believed that ones' beliefs have property rights and are subject to the same protections as tangible property. An assault resulting in provable damages by one citizen against another's religious beliefs is called a "moral injury" and may be pursued through our court system under protections provided by the RFRA laws at both the Federal and some State levels.
We believe that each individual has the right to self-determination in their beliefs, including religious expression, even if we do not agree with their positions, as long as they do no measurable harm to any fellow citizens or their property.
