Religious Liberty


Because My Soul Is My Business

We take for granted Religious Liberties in America and the Freedom of Worship we enjoy here. In part that is because of a Constitution that guaranteees that we have basic Freedoms of Worship, Freedoms of Assemby, Freedoms to have the State not Establish a State Religion and not impinge on the Freedom to Exercise one's religion or worship as they deem appropriate. It is a freedom to seek God and know him.

My Soul My Business. Not the Government's.

This is not the case in many places in the world. There are still Blasphemy laws in Pakistan for example (see the links to the right.) What are essentially Thought Police operate in places like Iran, political dissidents who don't believe in formal Athiesm in places like Cuba or China still are persecuted and prosecuted and Christian communities are still tortured in many places in the world you would rather forget about.
There is one organization that is doing something about it all over the world- with a focus now in Africa.

ADVOCATES INTERNATIONAL
http://www.advocatesinternational.org/

One of the featured attorneys on their newsletter (click link above) is Sam Casey, Esq. their General Counsel, who was one of the only Catholic Directors of the national organization, The Christian Legal Society prior to committing his time to Advocates International. He has been in Nigeria fighting corruption and religious oppression of the Christian community and violence against Christians.

Like all organizations they appreciate your financial support.
Seriously. Get out your checkbook. You don't know how good you have it.

Strengthening religious liberty guarantees help strengthen the Rule of Law that makes
Societies Fair and Equitable.
Help the Advocates International fight the corruption that destabilizes societies and undermines people's search for Truth.
