Podcast with Kelly Shackelford on Religious Freedom

The First Amendment to the Constitution begins with these words, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” What did they mean by those words and how is it that many judges and law professors think this means that God or the Bible can’t be mentioned in the public arena? Kelly Shackelford is the founder and president of First Liberty, based in the Dallas area. First Liberty is a very successful legal organization dedicated to protecting religious freedom in America. Kelly Shackelford joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss the contrast of the view of the founders on religious liberty versus a prevailing view among many in our culture today. www.firstliberty.org
