As Students Head Off To University, How Many Will Be Taken Captive By The False Prophets Of Democratic Socialism?

This week, millions of young Americans are heading off for their first semester in college. How many do you think will be taught that socialism - despite its 100% record of failure - is both practically and morally superior to capitalism? I’d guess maybe around 90% - and this despite the fact that America’s institutions of higher learning would be nonexistent without the economic firepower unleashed by our free market economy.

Humanist Congressman Says Secularism Is Gaining Ground In America, ‘Christian Nationalism’ Is Actively Trying To ‘Destroy Democracy’

Huffman, a humanist, became the second member of Congress in modern times to publicly identify himself as a “nonbeliever.” In Huffman’s book, “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism,” published Aug. 18, Huffman calls “Christian nationalism” the most dangerous political movement in the U.S. and claims that it is actively trying to “destroy democracy.” He also accuses religious nationalists of being a “scorched earth insurgency.” His book cites laws mandating the Ten Commandment displays in public schools, as well as the Trump administration and government officials’ participation and initiation of Christian prayer services within federal agencies.

Washington State Backs Off Censorship Of Christian Counseling Following Lawsuit, SCOTUS Ruling

Tingley, who has counseled adults and minors for more than 20 years, challenged a 2018 state law that bars counselors from encouraging and helping minors reject same-sex attraction or gender confusion. That same law permits counselors to encourage gender transitions. Those who violate the law could face suspension from their practice and loss of their license, as well as fines of up to $5,000 per violation.

America’s Constitution Protects Freedom Of Religion, Not Freedom From Religion

America’s Constitution protects freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion. Nowhere does the Constitution guarantee the right to be shielded from ever seeing someone exercise their religious beliefs in public. That’s because religious liberty is the freedom that defines America.

Christian Finnish Parliamentarian Blocked From Entering UK To Discuss Free Speech At Religious Liberty Conference

A Finnish parliamentarian has been blocked from entering the UK to give an address on freedom of speech at a conference this week, following her criminal conviction for “hate speech” by Finland’s Supreme Court. Longstanding Christian politician Päivi Räsänen, who is a member of the Finnish Parliament’s “Friends of the United Kingdom” group, was due to give a talk in person this week about freedom of speech, at a religious freedom conference. However, in July, Räsänen was informed that her Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to the UK had been cancelled, despite her application initially being approved in June.

Cult Inquiry Report Risks Undermining Australian Religious Freedom

The Victorian Government has six months to respond to the report. We urge it to strike the right balance between protecting people from genuine cults and safeguarding fundamental freedoms. Protecting vulnerable people and protecting religious freedom are not competing objectives. Victoria can and should do both.

College Student Denied Financial Aid for Choosing Religious Major

When Bethany’s major was just “Music Education,” she qualified. But when she changed her major to “Music & Worship,” the state said she was no longer eligible. “Excluding students from a state scholarship or grant simply because their choice of major is religious is discriminatory,” said Jeremy Dys, Senior Counsel for First Liberty. Bethany is simply asking for the same freedom every other student enjoys: the right to choose her course of study.

Secularists Once Again Have Grown Tired Of Christianity’s Influence In Australia

Although this is an optional question on the census, secular groups have invested significant resources in urging Australians to tick the “no religion” box. Why? Their stated motivation is to see balance returned to government budgets which they claim heavily favour public funding of Christian institutions and services.

Borders, Faith, And Common Sense: America Has Come A Long Way—But The Midterms Could Put All Those Gains In Jeopardy

With the mainstream media’s relentless left-wing bias and doom and gloom, it can be easy to forget just how far we’ve come over the past year-and-a-half or so since President Trump took office. All of these incredible gains are in jeopardy if patriotic, common-sense Americans don't turn out and vote.

Canada Raises Alarm Bells After Telling Chaplains Not To Talk About God In Public, Restricting ‘Religious Specific’ Speech

Canada’s government has raised alarms by instructing military chaplains that they may offer “inclusive” spiritual reflections at public events but cannot pray or mention God. The personnel instruction released July 29 by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) does not apply to funerals or voluntary worship services, but does apply to all other public events, including military parades, change of command ceremonies, commissioning of ships and historical commemorations.

Nigerian Court Rules Religious Police Cannot Arrest Christian Woman for Converting from Islam

A Federal High Court in northern Nigeria has ruled that Islamic religious police have no authority to arrest a young woman over her conversion from Islam to Christianity, in a judgment that curbs the reach of Sharia enforcement units operating in northern Nigeria. The ruling came in the case of Sarah*, now 22, who fled her family home in Kano State in 2025 after suffering abuse from her elder siblings, who were also attempting to force her into marriage against her wishes. (Sarah’s parents had died years prior.) Sarah took refuge with a Christian family, the Abaras, and while living with them, converted to Christianity herself.

Socialism And Bible Prophecy: Training Societies To Surrender Freedom To The State

Is socialism an economic system, or is it a worldview? Why are younger generations increasingly receptive to greater government involvement? Can freedom survive when personal responsibility is steadily transferred to the state? Does economic dependence make populations more willing to surrender liberty? Those are uncomfortable questions. But they are questions believers should be willing to ask. The Bible never says, “The antichrist will be a socialist.” Revelation does describe a future where political authority, religious allegiance, and economic participation become interconnected.

‘You Just Have To Keep Fighting’: Lawyers Who Defended BGEA Discuss Opposition, Vitriol, And Hope For Religious Freedom In The UK

Beyond his broader legal work, Ellis said his “most rewarding” cases are those he has litigated in concert with BGEA. In the last decade, the ministry prevailed, thanks to assistance from Ellis and others, in cases that challenged the ability of BGEA to place ads and hire venues, after opposition threatened to prevent Franklin Graham from preaching at some public events in the U.K.

DOJ Releases Guidance Strengthening Religious Liberty Protections

The U.S. Department of Justice released updated guidance strengthening federal protections for religious liberty. The DOJ’s updated memorandum, released on July 23, revises and expands the department’s 2017 Religious Liberty Guidelines in light of significant developments over the last nine years.

More Than Playing Defense: Tennessee’s Religious Liberty Comeback Offers A Lesson For Every State

This year, Tennessee rose to second place in the 2026 Religious Liberty in the States index, up from tenth place in 2025. The state now protects 85% of the religious liberty safeguards measured by the index, earning an “excellent” rating alongside first-place Arkansas. Tennessee improved largely because lawmakers enacted the Medical Ethics Defense Act. The law protects healthcare professionals and institutions from being forced to participate in or pay for medical services that violate their religious or moral convictions.

Opening The Door To An Ideology That Revels In Chaos, Violence, And Reshaping The Fabric Of Societies

Disastrous open border policies have wreaked havoc across Europe and Western Nations. The globalist rhetoric that caused nations to open their doors in the name of “inclusion” and “acceptance” has had disastrous consequences—predominantly, and unsurprisingly, the undermining of national sovereignty. Nations have allowed themselves to be flooded with countless Muslim immigrants, not to build a better life, but to spread an ideology that revels in chaos, violence, and reshaping the fabric of societies.

Senate Bill Would Codify Religious Liberties of Military Chaplains

“For our country’s 250-year history, military chaplains have walked alongside our service members through the hardest moments of their lives, offering prayer, counsel, and hope in isolated posts and combat zones alike,” Lankford said in a statement Thursday. “Chaplains serve because they are called to it. Congress has a responsibility to make sure they can carry out that calling faithfully, without being forced to violate the tenets of their faith and without fear of retaliation for holding to what they believe. This bill honors the men and women who minister to our heroes who defend our nation.”

‘My Prayer Is That Believers Would Stand Firm’: Physician Assistant Fired Over Trans Mandates Wins Settlement Against Hospital

“My prayer is that believers would stand ﬁrm, that they would be light and salt wherever God has placed them, that they would see who they’re working with and working for as people created in the image of God,” Kloosterman said. “For my friends and colleagues still working at UMHW, I’m glad that now they can receive a religious accommodation because of the policy change we achieved. That’s all I was asking for in the ﬁrst place, before I was ﬁred.”

Feds Arrest Heavily Armed Man Outside Of Trump Golf Course In California Ahead Of President’s Visit

Federal authorities arrested a California man near President Donald Trump’s scheduled event at his Rancho Palos Verdes golf course after investigators say he was carrying multiple firearms and tactical equipment, prompting a joint investigation involving the FBI, Secret Service, and local law enforcement.

British Millionaire Pledges Legal Aid For Christian Street Preachers

British businessman Samuel Leeds has pledged to fund legal representation for Christian street preachers who face police action for publicly sharing their faith. Leeds said he was “outraged and shocked” by reports of Christians being arrested for preaching in a nation with deep Christian roots. He argued that Britain increasingly applies a double standard—celebrating expression in many forms while treating biblical teaching as inherently offensive.

How Does God Prepare His People When The World Is Moving Toward War?

Every evening the news seems to remind us that the world is moving closer to another major conflict. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints. Iran continues to threaten international shipping. Russia's war in Ukraine grinds on with no clear end in sight. China openly pressures Taiwan. North Korea expands its missile program while the Middle East remains a powder keg waiting for another spark. Military analysts debate troop movements, missile ranges, economic sanctions, and political alliances. Energy experts warn about oil prices. Economists worry about inflation and supply chains. But Christians should ask a different question.

Oregon Dept of Human Services Claims That Christian Parents Caused ‘Mental Injury’ By Refuting The Lie Of Transgenderism

The phrase “psychological functioning” is an umbrella term that refers to how a person thinks, feels and behaves. Ironically, Mr. and Mrs. Calaway’s commitment to sharing God’s truth is the very best way to ensure their daughter grows up to think clearly, reason critically and discern truth. Contrast their commonsense approach with ODHS’ insistence on enabling delusional thinking and it’s especially galling and outrageous. David Calaway has asked the million-dollar question: “When did the truth become mental injury?”

Iraq’s Court Of Cassation Affirms Woman’s Right To Be Classified As A Christian In State’s Official Database

Iraq’s Court of Cassation has affirmed a previous ruling in favor of a young Christian woman, Maryam*, allowing her to have her official religious status corrected in the government’s database after she was automatically registered as Muslim under Iraqi law. The ruling from the country’s highest appellate court on personal status matters ordered the correction of Maryam’s religious classification and marks a strong step forward for religious freedom in cases of state-assigned religion, where Christians are inaccurately classified as Muslims in government-issued documents.

White House Religious Liberty Commission Issues Pressing Warning About Europe’s Free Speech Crisis

A US commission established by President Donald Trump has highlighted Europe’s free speech crisis by referencing in a draft report the criminal convictions of an army veteran in the UK for silently praying, and a Christian politician in Finland for writing a church booklet. The Religious Liberty Commission, which was set up to advise and report to the US President on emerging threats to religious freedom, has delivered its draft report, which included citing international religious freedom concerns.

The Dehumanizing, False Promises Of Marxist Economics Must Not Go Unchallenged

Younger Christians today have been told that early Christians practiced socialism. This is false; the charity practiced by first-century believers was voluntary. It was based on the love of God, whereas socialist/Marxist regimes are inherently godless and generally suppress religious freedom. It is imperative that such indoctrination be answered, and our publishing and broadcasting efforts critique socialism factually and effectively.

Which States Rank Highest—And Lowest—For Religious Liberty?

Each year, First Liberty’s Center for Religion, Culture and Democracy publishes a nationwide index of domestic religious freedom. It ranks religious liberty protections for each of the 50 states. The index focuses on select legal safeguards of religious exercise in state laws and constitutions.

The Dangerous Results Of Socialism: Does America Want Liberty — Or Does It Want Death?

Fascism, Nazism, and communism are different streams flowing from the same spring — socialism. The communist branch of socialism alone killed far in excess of 100 million people in the last century. Fascists and Nazis added millions more. Why would Americans ever want it here?

Nicaragua Ends Elections As Christians Face Growing Pressure

Outspoken Christians and other government critics are expected to face mounting pressure after Nicaragua’s long-serving President Daniel Ortega said the Central American nation will no longer hold elections, eliminating any possibility of an electoral challenge when his current term ends next year and further consolidating the power he shares with his wife, Rosario Murillo.

Despite Heightened Persecution, Christianity Continues To Grow, Even In The Most Hostile Nations

Even as roughly 380 million believers face persecution every year, Christianity continues to grow—even in the most hostile nations where faithfulness commonly means imprisonment, torture or death. Each new page of the report paints a sobering yet hopeful picture of global religious freedom facing rapidly growing persecution.

Does The Fight Over Shariah Law In America Reveal Something Deeper About Our Culture’s Trajectory?

Is the United States Constitution still the supreme law of the land? Should American courts ever recognize a foreign legal system when it conflicts with constitutional rights? Are these merely political questions, or do they reveal something deeper about the direction of our culture and the prophetic trajectory of the world?

Leaders Who Know The Times: Marco Rubio’s Warning To The World

In what some analysts are calling U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s finest speech of his career, the former Florida senator called out on Thursday the dangerous and destructive radicalism of extremist groups determined to undermine and upend longstanding moral truths rooted in human dignity and the Judeo-Christian tradition.

‘A Distinctive And Unique Evil’: Rubio Shines A Spotlight On Left-Wing Political Violence

"This is what radical leftism is," he underscored. "It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place and time. They can call themselves anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist or communist or anarchist or Marxist. But the fundamental character is always the same."

‘Our Rights Come From God, Not Government’: Arkansas Leads The Nation In Protecting Religious Freedom

“Religious liberty is America’s First Freedom, and Arkansas is leading the nation in protecting it,” Sanders said. “Our rights come from God, not government, and every American should be free to live according to their faith and conscience. We’ll continue defending that freedom and ensuring the Natural State remains the best place in the country to live, work, and worship.”
