What happens when progressive dogma meets religious convictions?
President Trump called on “all nations” to protect religious freedoms around the world, while leading a religious freedom panel Monday at the United Nations. He reminded attendees that rights don’t come from the government, but from God. The president added, no right is more fundamental than the right to follow one’s religious convictions.
President Trump then announced $25 million in funding to protect religious sites and relics. A coalition of U.S. businesses aimed at protecting religious liberty is also set to be formed.
“Too often people in positions of power preach diversity while silencing, shunning or censoring the faithful,” stated President Trump. “True tolerance means respecting the right of all people to express their deeply held religious beliefs.”
The president also called on all nations to end religious persecution. He said the U.S. stands with believers of every faith and will remain at the side of all who seek religious freedom.
