The CantmIre Post

The year is 2023, and it has been three years since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on religious liberty. The decision made it clear that no person should be discriminated against based on their religious beliefs. However, as the years have gone by, too many people have not gotten the message.

In many parts of the country, it was common for employers to deny job opportunities to those who practiced a different religion than their own. In other places, landlords refused to rent out apartments to those from different faiths. It was almost like some people were trying to push their own beliefs onto others and that wasn't fair or right.

Fortunately, there were also some great examples of people respecting each other's beliefs and showing true tolerance. For example, in one city a group of several churches came together and created a community center where people could come together regardless of their faith or creed. It was a place where everyone could learn about different religions without judgement or discrimination.

Unfortunately though, this kind of respect and understanding was not yet widespread enough and in too many places around the country, religious intolerance still existed and even flourished. People had to fight hard for their right to practice their faith without fear of persecution or ridicule.

As we approach 2023, let us all remember that religious liberty must be respected at all times so that we can all live in peace and harmony with our fellow human beings regardless of our faith or beliefs.
