Religious Freedom Part 2: Lawyer Sounds ...

The Daily Signal
About this episode

Today's show is the second in a three-part series on the movement for religious freedom in the U.S. legal system today. Check out the first part about how Christians who refuse to take a COVID-19 vaccine face “medical death row” here.


Ryan Bangert, senior vice president at the religious freedom law firm Alliance Defending Freedom, breaks down a troubling phenomenon he calls the “rise of global censorship.”


“All across the world, we’re seeing government become ever more bold in attempting to directly censor the speech and the messages being communicated by citizens,” Bangert told “The Daily Signal Podcast” in an interview at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in February.


Enjoy the show!
