About
Right To Believe is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to uphold the fundamental rights of religious freedom for all. We include tens of thousands of individuals who are fighting to protect the right to believe in one’s religion without undue governmental interference.
Recent decisions in the Washington D.C. Courts show a dangerous trend of government overreach and encroachment on fundamental religious liberties.
One particular case has brought this disturbing trend to light.
A DC Superior Court Judge has ignored the complex religious issues of the case Family Federation for World Peace and Unification International vs. Hyun Jin Moon. Despite the nuances of the case, Judge Laura Cordero essentially placed one religious doctrine and structure over another in a summary judgement, without a hearing, and without a trial.
She is forcing people who view Hyun Jin Moon as their spiritual leader to accept the Court-appointed religion.
This is a violation of the First Amendment rights of free exercise of religion. It sets a dangerous precedent of judicial overreach in religious affairs.
If we don’t stand up today,
will your faith be next?
