Falling Away of the First

There are two headlines showing an attack on our religious freedom is underway. This isn’t about any one faith, rather  it’s about our civil liberty.

• “TSA Allowing Muslim Passengers to Carry Prayer Beads and Whisper Prayers on Flights.”

• “College Employee Asks Student to Remove Cross Necklace at Sonoma State University.”

They have this in common: How faith is to be or not to be expressed. And both instances violates our U.S. Constitution.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” reads the First Amendment.

Simply stated — no one can tell you or me how to express our faith and get away with it legally, unless we refuse to do anything about it. Remember, what violates your neighbor’s rights, violates yours and it violates mine.
