Today, the right to "religious liberty" has been primarily defined and advanced by large, well-funded Christian Right law firms. Those organizations advocating for church-state separation and religious minority rights face an uphill battle in reclaiming a more inclusive vision of freedom of—and from—religion. This interfaith panel will explore how organizations representing minority faith and/or secular communities work together, despite significant differences in their missions and communities.
