American Freedom of Belief Act

Freedom of Faith & Conscience
- Protects churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other faith-based institutions from federal overreach into teaching, hiring, or religious practice.
- Ensures non-religious organizations are equally free to operate according to their values without being compelled to adopt beliefs they reject.
Business & Employment Protections
- Shields faith-based and conscience-based business owners from lawsuits or penalties when declining services that violate their sincerely held beliefs.
- Affirms the right of religious or conscience-based organizations to hire individuals who align with their values.
Schools & Education
- Protects the voluntary right of students and staff to pray, read religious texts, or form faith-based clubs.
- Affirms the right of non-believers to refrain from participation without penalty or ridicule.
- Bars federal retaliation against schools that allow faith-based expression or freedom from religion.
Public Expression
- Allows individuals to display religious or conscience-based symbols (crosses, Stars of David, hijabs, yarmulkes, etc.) in public spaces where personal expression is otherwise permitted.
- Prohibits federally funded institutions from labeling religious speech as “hate speech” solely because it expresses moral or biblical truth.

First Amendment – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
This Act enforces free exercise and prevents government from punishing or privileging one worldview over another.

Christians → Protected in worship, business, and education without compromise.
Other Faiths → Secured rights to practice freely without government intrusion.
Non-Believers → Protected from being compelled into religious activity, ensuring true freedom of conscience.
Everyone → Clear line drawn government cannot dictate belief, silence faith, or coerce conscience.
