THE ACLU
FIGHTS FOR CHRISTIANS
The ACLU fights just as
hard for INDIVIDUAL free exercise of religion as the ACLU fights against GOVERNMENT endorsement, sponsorship, or
establishment of religion. Despite this fact, many people spread misinformation about the ACLU around the internet,
innocently and maliciously, falsely
claiming the ACLU is anti-religion or anti-Christian.
This list of FACTS counteracts that misinformation. These links represent just a few of the many examples of the
ACLU defending the free speech and free exercise rights of Christians (for
purposes of this list, the word “Christian” means a person who self-identifies
as “Christian”).
In every example, the ACLU is defending
the right of a Christian to speak as a Christian or to practice Christianity.
