Still, some repeatedly claim that government is somehow generally trying to stifle the free exercise of religion. Radio, TV and the Internet are full of religious expression. American houses of worship are the single largest nonprofit enterprise in our society. Yes, there are things nonprofit groups should not do. These regulations are not aimed only at churches.
Churches regularly speak out on what they regard as moral issues.
Daily we can hear religious voices freely addressing pornography, gambling, abortion, homosexuality, hunger and a host of other moral issues. Let me offer five reasons why I believe leaders of the Religious Right charge that government is muffling religion. Government should not promote any specific set of religious ideas. Neutrality is the ideal and it is not persecution. Religious Right partisans ask government for preferential treatment for their specific spin on Christian doctrine.
