Religious freedom advocates are praising a Supreme Court decision issued on June 18 as a victory for freedom of speech and houses of worship across the country, the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (June 20, 2015).
The court unanimously ruled in favor of an Arizona church in a dispute over a town's sign law.
The law in Gilbert, Arizona had set tougher rules for signs that direct people to Sunday church services than for signs for political candidates and real estate agents.
Eric Rassbach, deputy general counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said, "The Supreme Court rightly decided that churches and other religious speakers should not be treated like second-class citizens."
