Elder Oaks said while there are discouraging trends with religious freedom, there are also some encouraging signs, including the successful work of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and advocacy by many influential religious leaders, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Pastor Rick Warren, whom Elder Oaks quoted as saying, “Religious liberty is going to be the civil rights issue of the next decade.”
