Does the 'Respect for Marriage Act' harm religious freedom? This week on FOT

“Yes,” says this week’s guest, Emma Waters of the Heritage Foundation. She explains how the act will perpetuate anti-religious litigation against those who believe in the biblical view of marriage https://iowacatholicradio.com/faith-on-trial/. After the Act’s passage, Kelly Shackelford, president, CEO, and chief counsel for First Liberty Institute, issued a statement which was also critical of the legislation: 

Congress just passed a law that punishes the free exercise of religion. The so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” lets radical activists harass faith-based institutions in court because of their religious beliefs about marriage.  No American should be punished for holding a faith-based view on marriage, even if that view conflicts with the government’s current preferred definition.  And, no American should change their religious convictions about marriage just because a few politicians changed theirs.
