When religion becomes a test of citizenship
Religious freedom is tested when fear turns unfamiliar faiths into political weapons and questions who truly belongs within America itself.
Religious freedom is not measured by how safely the majority worships. It is measured by whether the minority is equally free.

In this edition of “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines what happens when religion is turned from a source of humility and justice into a political weapon used to decide who belongs.
