Religious Liberty: What It Is and Isn’t


9:00 - 10:30 AM EDT

Religious liberty is a treasured American value that has become highly contentious over the past several months. From marriage equality to contraception and other issues, conflicts are raging over whether there is a war on religion, the nature and limits of religious liberty in a pluralistic democracy, and how we have handled difficult issues in the past. Please join our panel of religious, policy, and legal experts to explore what religious liberty is—and isn’t—in America today.

The Center for American Progress invites you to join our panel of experts for a lively and informative conversation.
