After many attacks on religious freedom during the pandemic, we are seeing great wins across the country. Let’s keep up the good fight!
From Higher Ground. A federal court just ordered the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department in Ohio to pay $137,000 in legal fees for forcing two Christian groups to close due to COVID-tied dictates. A New York judge just ruled that city officials who were fired for refusing the COVID shots, even though they claimed religious exemptions, must be rehired — with backpay. And the list of churches winning cases against the government for unlawfully ordering them closed during COVID grows long.

America is not lost so long as religious liberties stay intact.
And 2023 is seeing a resurgence of those in America who are successfully fighting the far left intent to crumble the foundations of this country. …
“NYC teachers win jobs back with backpay after refusing COVID-19 vaccine,” Fox News just reported. …
This is why America was populated in the first place — the quest for the right to worship God; to obey God; to follow biblical values and principles. And putting untested, potentially harmful substances into one’s own body is not only a violation of God’s laws, according to many believers. It’s also counter to the Constitution. …
Then there was this, just recently — another win for religious freedom in America: “A federal court ordered a local health department in Ohio to pay two Christian organizations over $137,000 in attorney fees over an order that led to the closure of faith-based schools during the COVID-19 pandemic while secular businesses remained open,” The Christian Post wrote. …
Yes. Because in America, it’s law and order and duly passed legislation that governs — not the dictates of [bureaucrats]. Such lawsuits should have been filed in every state, in every jurisdiction, in every locality where local health professionals dared to order churches and religious-based schools to close, at the same time allow Walmart, liquor and marijuana stores and other retail to remain open and operational. …
Hopefully, the backlash against religious freedom in America is surging — because as the COVID case counts rise, so, too, will the government’s attempts to once again shut down the economy, the school, society.
Once again, Americans will have to fight for what’s supposed to be inherent, at birth: liberty. …
America will only stay as free as its religious liberties stay strong. …
