Vice President Pence is right about threats to our religious liberty -- What should we do?

In his recent address to the 2019 graduates of Liberty University and again this week an interview with Shannon Bream of Fox News, Vice President Mike Pence raised the issue of religious liberty.

The vice president spoke of recent assaults on religious believers around the world – including attacks on the most fundamental of American rights here at home.

He explained that “throughout most of American history, it’s been pretty easy to call yourself Christian. It didn’t even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. But things are different now. Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional Christian beliefs.”

Pence’s remarks raise the question: What must Americans do to stem this tide of bigotry?

The answer may not be easy, but it is simple: We must return to a common understanding of the bedrock principles upon which our nation was founded.
