Stating that "nothing defines us more as Americans [than] our religious liberties," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales unveiled the Justice Department's "First Freedom Project" to the Southern Baptist Executive Committee in Nashville yesterday. His new Religious Freedom Task Force will step up enforcement of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of religion and will educate churches on how to file complaints about violations of their rights. We applaud Attorney General Gonzales for recognizing the ongoing threat to religious freedom and for taking firm steps to defend our "first freedom."
