Religious freedom remains at risk, lawyer says

Last week the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district court’s ruling, paving the way for a Santeria priest in Euless, Texas, to resume goat sacrifices as part of religious ceremonies.

The priest, José Merced, was represented by Eric Rassbach, National Litigation Director at The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty — a Washington-based civil rights law firm that protects the free public expression of all religious traditions, including Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, and many others.

Religious freedom is religious freedom.

We cannot pick and choose.

If we want to be free, we must stand up for the freedom of others, including those whose views we may abhor.
