The Dangers of Socialism to Religious Liberty in the U.S.

[link removed]

Before emigrating to the United States, I was a pastor in Cuba who
suffered religious persecution at the hands of an oppressive
regime. Through my testimony, I want to warn Americans about the threat
socialism poses to religious freedom, and why we must keep fighting
for the liberty to freely live out our faith.

"Holy Water" Tax: City Gov't Discriminates Against
Churches with New "Institutional" Fee

[link removed]

The City of Magnolia, Texas developed an underhanded and illegal
scheme to wring money out of churches and other tax-exempt
organizations. Shockingly, when the churches took legal action to
reclaim their rights, city officials threatened
sanctions against the pastors if they continued.
