Unlike most Western democracies, the U.S. infuses religion into the political process. Candidates frequently speak about their personal religious beliefs and work to pass laws based on their interpretation of Christianity. The Rev. Barry Lynn will discuss why, as a legally secular republic, the U.S. must refrain from basing its laws on religion.
The Rev. Lynn is the executive director of Americans United, a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to the preservation of the Constitution’s religious liberty provisions. Rev. Lynn will explain why religious and secular nonprofit groups should respect federal laws that bar intervention in partisan politics.
