People of faith find themselves marginalized and ridiculed. In a nation where our coins carry the motto, 'In God We Trust...'

Religious conservatives still lack a theology of direct political action.

The time has now come to amend the Constitution to restore freedom of speech for America's people of faith.

With each passing year, people of faith grow increasingly distressed by the hostility of public institutions toward religious expression. We have witnessed the steady erosion of the time-honored rights of religious Americans - both as individuals and as communities - to practice what they believe in the public square.

In 1962, the Supreme Court banned organized prayer from public schools. Since then, federal, state, and local courts and officials, including public school administrators, have joined in a nationwide search and destroy mission for student religious practices.

Our legal and political culture has created a bias in the law that borders on censorship against reading, displaying, or quoting the Bible.

What good is religious liberty if it can only be practiced behind stained-glass windows on Sunday?
