Threats to Religious Pluralism and Freedom in the United States

Two recent 2022 Supreme Court decisions (reversal of Roe vs. Wade and Kennedy vs. Bremerton School District) have significantly altered the religious landscape of pluralism and religious freedom for all in the US. As a multi-religious and multi-racial society, it is important that no religious tradition impose its moral or ethical values on those of other religious beliefs but are free to practice the values of their own faith without mandating it for others. Patriarchal systems of governance, which have no place in modern society, are addressed.
