Religious News Service: A campaign to blitz the country with ‘In God We Trust’ laws takes root
But the way Project Blitz defines The idea that people’s religious views should be neither an advantage or a disadvantage under the law. Learn more is misleading, said Frederick Clarkson, senior research analyst with Political Research Associates, a social justice think tank based in Somerville, Mass.
“Religious freedom in the sense that Project Blitz means it is not what the rest of us understand as the revolutionary aspiration of religious equality for all,” Clarkson said. “It’s more of a cover for some conservative Christians to promote their religious and political views via public policy and public institutions, and as a justification for broad exemptions from the law.”
