WASHINGTON – On November 17, Becket will release the third edition of its annual Religious Freedom Index, a comprehensive study that tracks trends in American perspectives on religious freedom. Each year, the Index explores American attitudes across a wide range of religious liberty issues. This year, Becket also asked additional, timely, questions to gain insight into how Americans view faith-based organizations partnering with government, the place of religious voices in free speech, and the importance of religion and religious community during the pandemic. Join us on November 17, 2021, for a presentation and panel discussion examining the findings of the third annual Religious Freedom Index: American Perspectives on the First Amendment.
