Join Us in Preserving Religious Freedom and Human Dignity in the Dallas Fort Worth Area

You have the right to believe and practice your religion

Religious Freedom

All people have the right to believe and live according to their deepest convictions without fear of retribution or exclusion. Protecting this right is an expression of human dignity.

You have inherent worth and should be treated with dignity

Human Dignity

All people have value and are worthy of respect and being treated with kindness and empathy. Honoring the dignity of everyone everywhere is foundational to a peaceful, fair and flourishing society.

Core Principles of Religious Freedom and Human Dignity

  • Beliefs are Personal: Everyone has the right to choose and practice their own beliefs
  • Rights to Expression and Assembly are Essential: Individuals can speak, worship, and gather without fear
  • Restrictions on the State Protect Us All: The government cannot favor or discriminate against any religion – or no religion – and all views are allowed the opportunity to thrive
  • Pluralism Must Prevail: A society will flourish only if its members respect and protect differing religious and non-religious worldviews
