Before he left office, former President Barack Obama issued a proclamation dubbing Jan. 17 “Religious Freedom Day.” Religious freedom is literally why Pilgrims fled their oppressive England to come to America and as such, it’s a foundational concept for our First Amendment.

Yet, even though Obama gave the idea its own special day, religious freedom doesn’t get a pass in this country. In fact, while it’s a landmark principle, the concept is increasingly challenged in all walks of life, from schools and churches to the military and the Supreme Court. Some of these battles stem from the very policies Obama supported — policies the Trump administration has started to reverse. It doesn’t take a constitutional law enthusiast to wonder: If we have religious freedom, why is it constantly being attacked?
