Religious favoritism harms both believers and nonbelievers
Interfaith Alliance believes all Americans are entitled to our religious freedom rights. People of all faiths and the nonreligious are equal under the U.S. Constitution. Vice President of Programs and Strategy Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons participated in webinar discussion about religious liberty sponsored by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He was joined by Sam McGuire fromAmerican Atheists, Paul Golin from Society for Humanistic Judaism, and Tahil Sharma from theNational LGBTQ Task Force.
Together, they challenged the assumption that religious freedom primarily belongs to people of faith, while church-state separation is treated as a niche concern of the nonreligious. They also examined how religious favoritism harms both believers and nonbelievers, highlighted shared values, and offered a more inclusive vision of religious freedom grounded in civil liberties and human rights.
