Americans want ‘fair shake’ for faith-based groups, protection for vaccine refusers, survey suggests
(Worthy News) – Most Americans say that religious groups providing community services should qualify for government funding alongside their secular counterparts, according to the 2021 Religious Freedom Index survey released Wednesday.
