Starting this weekend CBS is airing a special on religious freedom that features the Baptist Joint Committee! Here is a brief description of the show:
The U.S. Constitution guarantees all citizens equal rights regardless of religion. But what does religious freedom mean in the most religiously diverse country in the world? This program explores this matter, particularly among our religious minorities. While the government remains neutral in matters of religion, some fringe groups create fear of “the other” through hate speech and even violence. To counter this, watchdog organizations and religious scholars work to protect this freedom for religious minorities.
It is showing near you! Check here for a list of airtimes.
