Religious legal group refutes media claims that Supreme Court wants to 'promote Christianity'

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles.

More than a month after the Supreme Court ruled on several high-profile religious cases, the media continued to attack the agency for imposing Christianity on the country. I'm here.

His two most high-profile cases were Carson v. Makin and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, both of which dealt with freedom of religious expression. Carson's ruling allowed religious schools to use the tuition assistance program, while Kennedy's ruling denied former Bremerton High School assistant football coach Joseph Kennedy the right to say a postgame prayer on school grounds. The First Liberty Institute, a legal organization dedicated to defending religious liberty, helped defend both cases as they headed to the Supreme Court. 

Some media outlets claimed that these decisions forced Americans to adopt Christianity, while Liberty Institute First President Kelly Shu Kelford took issue with Fox News Digital about this. I'll provide it,'" Shackleford said.

After the judgment was delivered, Shackelford praised the judge for returning to the original constitutional design.

"What's happening is that the courts are going back to the language of the Constitution. There are some old cases that didn't follow the Constitution. The case was abandoned because it went back to what the Constitution said, not because a previous judge said it was not based on the words of the Constitution. It claimed the decision was a return to the Constitution, but several liberal figures, including media officials, argued otherwise. 

Susan Wilde of Pennsylvania Democratic Party Members of the House of Representativescompared the Kennedy ruling with the Taliban ruling, claiming that this was "what happens in the Theocracy." Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin tweeted in June that Carson's decision was "that of a major Christian nationalist." Last week, a Politico essay argued that the Supreme Court was determined to "promote Christianity" and "end the separation of church and state."

In light of the condemnation of these and other Supreme Court decisions by Democrats and media commentators, Shackelford argued that people often "used the courts ' said. for their political goals. 

"They feel that if they are allowed freedom, they will find themselves in concentration camps," he added.

Shackleford explains: You give yourself too much freedom like someone else doesn't have it.

He also criticized those who promote "separation of church and state" as a doctrine of the Constitution, even though it is not written in the actual Constitution. Kind of extreme, the separation of church and state has nothing to do with religious institutions, it has to do with 'Let's ban religion in public, let's ban it wherever there's a government.' So they is grossly misusing the term.The term may have some meaning, but it is not in the Constitution.The Constitution is about not establishing religion," Shackelford said. 86}

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling, Shackelford carried out "a lot of cleanup." predicted and reported: There have already been cases citing judges who defended religious freedom. But he expected that some would continue to challenge what they believed was forcing religion in government.

"They don't read the laws and decisions or they just have an agenda to take things the other way. I want to," he said.

Nonetheless, Shackelford remained optimistic, saying, "Most Americans now have more religious freedom than ever before."
