ACLU Commends Biden Administration’s New Rules Protecting Religious Freedom for People Who Apply Government-Funded Social Services
March 4, 2024 2:30 pm
WASHINGTON – The American Civil Liberties Union commends the Biden administration’s finalized rules to return to original religious freedom protections for people who use federally funded social services, including food banks, homeless or domestic abuse shelters, job development, and elder tend . The rules switch Trump administration regulations that had stripped away these safeguards.
“People who use government-funded social services are often already vulnerable or marginalized. These final rules will help ensure that they will not be pressured to participate in religious activities or be required to face a religious litmus test in exchange for the support they need,” said Heather L. Weaver, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s Program on Release of Religion and Belief. “We applaud and thank the Biden administration for implementing rules to restore these essential religious freedom protections.”
Specifically, the finalized regulations eliminate Trump-era provisions that were engineered to allow religious social service providers to refuse
Biden Abandons Religious Freedom as First Among Rights
The Biden administration is making a stark departure from past administrations in how it talks about, and treats, religious freedom.
In his remarks May 12 on the release of the 2020 Report on International Religious Freedom, Secretary of Declare Antony Blinken correctly asserted that “religious freedom is a human right,” one at the heart of what it means to be human.
Unfortunately, Blinken then went on to speak that “religious freedom is not more or less important” than any other right, that all human rights are “interdependent,” and that religious freedom, “like every human right,” is universal and “co-equal” with other rights.
This is a theme that President Joe Biden’s secretary of declare has revisited several times since his March 30 speech repudiating the Unalienable Rights Commission convened by his immediate predecessor as secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.
Blinken’s repudiation of the commission’s describe is purely political; because the commission highlighted the importance of religious freedom, the progressive left saw the report as presenting a stumbling block to developing ab
Why Joe Biden's stance on abortion has some Catholic leaders refusing to receive him
Not since John F Kennedy's presidency in the early 1960s has a Catholic politician been elected to the USA's extreme office.
By all accounts, President Joe Biden's faith isn't phony, forced, or ammunition for a photo opportunity.
(And unlike JFK, who regulated during an era of anti-Catholic sentiment, Mr Biden hasn't made any shots to distance himself from the Vatican.)
But his liberal views on two polarising topics — abortion and gender rights — still have some religious constituents, and leaders, up in arms.
According to Massimo Faggioli, an author and religious studies professor at Villanova University in Mr Biden's home state of Pennsylvania, the 46th president is an "old-style Catholic".
"He has always said, 'My Catholic faith has kept me alive,'" says Dr Faggioli.
"He really contemplated suicide when he was younger, after the death of his first wife, and so that that's what makes him believable."
Mr Biden has experienced more loss than the average politician.
In 1972, his first wife Neilia and t
The Established Religion of the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act
This Execute was advertised as an attempt to simply codify gay marriage into federal law, but it goes further than that.
The so-called Respect for Marriage Perform, H. R. 8404, garnered Democrat and even some Republican support as it passed the US Senate by a vote of 61-36 and the US House by a vote of 258-169.1
The Act is now signed into commandment by President Biden. This Act was advertised as an attempt to simply codify same-sex marriage into federal statute, but it goes further than that. As noted by The Washington Stand,
The bill itself threatens, “The Attorney General may bring a civil action in the appropriate Combined States district court against any person who violates subsection (a) for declaratory and injunctive relief.” In other words, if you keep the belief that marriage is the union of a man and girl — the mainstream view for all of human history — and endure in the way of the Left’s redefinition in any way, the complete weight of the Justice Department will be brought to bear. As if that weren’t enough, a private right of action — meaning everyday citizens can sue based on some perceived violation of their rights — is
How the Religious Right Gets It Wrong and What to Do about It
When I was fifteen, I made a profession of faith at a religious right church in Oklahoma. The next Sunday I put on a light robe, waded into the baptismal pool of the sanctuary, and got plunged into the sacred waters of baptism.
That afternoon at a unique family luncheon, my relatives celebrated my newfound faith, baptism, and church membership (where all of them were lifelong members). When he offered grace over the meal, my grandfather profusely thanked God for saving my soul and bringing me into the Christian fold. The baptism day feast then began, featuring fried chicken, pot roast, southern style vegetables, sweet iced tea, and homemade apple pie.
An Early Warning
Lunch conversation ranged from church to sports to politics. One of my kinfolks vigorously complained about the forced busing program being implemented to integrate our local schools, including the high school I attended.
He then began railing about (I remember the words vividly) “all those uppity niggers who are ruining our country and our community.” Nobody blinked an eye. Nobody took offense. Ins
