PA Senator on Religious Freedom Day
In a column today, Rick Santorum explains his interest in creating today's Religious Freedom Day on Capitol Hill (which I wrote about in a post yesterday).
Because freedom of religion embodies the freedoms of conscience, thought, and action, it is the lodestar of all other freedoms. Thus, a discussion of its status, challenges, and protection is not merely an event we accommodate, but a discussion we welcome and embrace.The Washington Times praises Santorum's efforts, and his conservative credentials, in an editorial today.Because people everywhere desire to express their faith—or lack of faith—in a manner of their choosing, I have invited individuals and representatives from myriad faith traditions and welcome their perspectives, suggestions, and contributions.
