Some myths about religious freedom are accepted as truth and used to put down people of faith and religious organizations. When people say things like, “Religious freedom is just an excuse for discrimination,” Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) wants you to be equipped to respond and set the record straight.
Religious freedom is a fundamental, inalienable right that belongs to every individual, regardless of their faith or beliefs. The freedom to pursue a relationship with God has existed since the beginning of time.
ADF International advocates for religious freedom through its efforts to:
- Protect and promote the right to freedom of religion or belief by engaging with key international organizations.
- Defend and expand legal protections for religious freedom at the national level.
- Secure justice for victims of religious persecution by supporting their defense in courts.
- Combat the spread of blasphemy, anti-conversion, and apostasy laws, working to slow, stop, and eventually reverse their influence.
