An international religious freedom organization is pushing for worldwide action to eliminate laws that make it a crime to express personal beliefs.
Global Christian Relief has issued a new report calling on world leaders to take decisive action against legislation that targets individuals for their faith-based convictions. The organization believes it’s time for decisive governmental leadership on this issue.
According to the GCR study, “The United States should intensify bilateral and multilateral engagement to press for the repeal or non-enforcement of blasphemy laws, which remain on the books in nearly half of the world’s countries and are fundamentally incompatible with freedom of religion.”
The report highlights how these types of laws continue to exist across approximately half of all nations globally, creating what the organization sees as a direct conflict with religious liberty principles.
