<<While the threats to religious freedom around the globe are both glaring and well-established, the panel was asked to assess the claim of the U.S. Catholic Bishops, embodied in their annual "Fortnight for Freedom," that religious liberty in the United States was under serious threat.>>

The notion that religious liberty for Christians is under threat in the US is preposterous. Those making this claim confuse religious liberty with religious privilege: the Catholic bishops endeavor to insinuate Catholic theology into public policy then cry foul when the secular rule of law is defended. And if the bishops were so conscientious about religious tolerance they could have opted not to support a bigot for president.

Seriously, give me a break with these guys.
