Anti-Religious Freedom Grants Target Georgia, Florida, N.M., Texas

Washington D.C., Oct 30, 2018 / 03:19 pm (CNA).- Four states, including Texas and Florida, are in the crosshairs of an anti-religious freedom funders’ network that coordinated the successful effort to recognize gay marriage in law.

The Proteus Fund’s Religion, Faith and Democracy Collaborative, launched last year, has dedicated at least $900,000 to efforts in Georgia and New Mexico, its 2017 grant listings show. At the same time, it is funding like-minded groups in Texas and Florida to develop grant proposals, apparently laying the groundwork for activist coalitions in those states.

“Together with progressive faith leaders and communities, we fight against discrimination under the false guise of religious liberty,” the funding collaborative said on its website.

Saying that success for LGBTQ and “reproductive justice” movements advance one another, the collaborative said it aims to unite leaders and organizations from diverse coalitions to maximize impact.

“We believe in the right of every individual to control their sexual and reproductive health and to live freely and with dignity in their gender identity and sexual orientation. We believe that these unalienable human rights should never be undermined by discrimination, whether justified by law, social norms, or religion,” the group said.

Regarding Texas, the Proteus Fund collaborative made small four-figure grants to develop proposals from four groups: the ACLU Foundation of Texas; the Equality Texas Foundation; the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding; and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Texas.

What about the prospect of breathing for the unborn? Is that an unalienable right? Good luck stamping out the real Church. Jesus said “that even the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”.

“... the no god god.”

Who turns out to still be Satan fooling and using people who reject the Lord.
