Have you ever been afraid to speak out for your faith? To wear a cross at work because you might be singled out? To put a Bible on your desk? To ask for time off on Sunday to go to church?

According to a report by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the level of religious discrimination charges is way up: six times higher than in previous years. The Biden administration targeted Christians, seeking to push them out of foster care and education. Many corporations are using DEI to bully and censor Christians and other people with a biblical worldview. No wonder there is renewed interest in protecting people of faith from government discrimination.

Senate Bill 36 in the Georgia legislature does just that. But it needs your help. Please call your Georgia House lawmaker and ask them to pass SB 36 today with no amendments.

SB 36 is a Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). About 30 states have passed RFRAs, which mirror a federal law that went into effect 30 years ago.

“This law basically says that the government should be held to a very high level of proof before it interferes with someone’s free exercise of religion,” said Democratic President Bill Clinton when he signed the federal RFRA in 1993.

Even the American Civil Liberties Union supported the original federal law, stating that RFRA “is the Civil Rights Act of the First Amendment.”

Other groups also supported RFRA –– including the NAACP, B’nai B’rith International, and the Human Rights Campaign –– writing in a 2009 memo to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, “RFRA [provides] the most significant free exercise protection of the post-Smith era.”

Then-Senator Joe Biden played a key role in passing RFRA, making sure it moved through his senate committee. As a state senator in Illinois, Barack Obama voted for RFRA.

In other words, RFRA is commonsense. SB 36 is commonsense.

But the radical, Marxist Left is not interested in commonsense, and they are trying hard to derail SB 36 because their ideology vilifies people of faith. After all, Karl Marx famously said “religion is the opium of the masses.”

Georgia Speaker Jon Burns needs to hear from you. Please ask him to support SB 36 and pass it with no amendments before the end of session this week, April 4.

Speaker Burns can be emailed at: [email protected], or call his office at: (404) 656-5020.

Please ask your Georgia House member to vote for SB 36 and urge Speaker Burns to move the bill this week – before it’s too late.
