Persecution of Christians and other minority religion adherents is on the rise worldwide. Over 365 million Christians live in places where persecution is a daily challenge. In some countries, blasphemy laws still carry a death sentence. Homeschool parents are targeted by governments who threaten to take their children away because of their faith. Christians are even arrested for silently praying or tweeting a Bible verse. But many Americans aren’t aware of the threat to religious freedom and the extent to which it is under attack in Western countries like the U.K. and Brazil. That’s why we’ve ...

Make no mistake: New York’s new censorship law targets constitutionally protected speech on social media networks. But this attack on free speech is nothing new. We’ve seen countless forms of censorship from government officials, social media platforms, and even financial institutions. But now, satirical websites like The Babylon Bee face the risk of humorless state officials depriving them of their First Amendment freedoms. At ADF, we believe that all Americans are free to peacefully express their point of view, and that includes humor and sarcasm. Further, we believe that our freedoms don’t ...
