In May, ADF announced it had been removed from an Amazon plan that donates a per centum from purchases to charities due to Amazon’s reliance on SPLC to vet the charities inwards that program.

“Adams as well as Jefferson were political opponents—but they agreed on the human correct of religious freedom.

The Justice Department, which lately established a religious liberty chore force, has made defending the starting fourth dimension liberty a priority, Sessions said.
“Americans from a broad multifariousness of faiths are bespeak themselves, how much longer until I am inwards Jack Phillips’ position?” Sessions said. “How much longer until the state, the media, the academy, the tech companies, or the global corporations come upwards downward on me because of my beliefs?”
