Jews are among the many religious minorities whose American experiences have benefited immeasurably from the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The notion of freedom of – and freedom from – religion was among our Founders’ great innovations, yet it has been battled over politically ever since. In recent years, reactionary religious fundamentalists have achieved unprecedented access to governmental and judicial power, seeking to turn the clock back to a time of supremacy of one religion over all others.Paul Golin, executive director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism (www.SHJ.org) and lead staff of its Jews for a Secular Democracy pluralistic initiative (www.JFASD.org), will discuss threats to religious freedom and how the Jewish community can defend church-state separation on issues such as abortion rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and secular education in public schools.
