Ah, religious freedom. It's one of the most important freedoms we have because it represents freedom of thought. Yes, in a free country, you can think and believe whatever you want. Can you imagine not being able to think and believe what you want to think and believe? That would suck, wouldn't it?
Thank goodness for the Religious Freedom Coalition. Just look at the name! How can you not support them? Like I just said, religious freedom is pretty much freedom of thought. Here's their mission statement, taken from the About RFC section of their website:
The Religious Freedom Coalition is a non-profit educational organization head quartered in Washington, DC. Founded in 1982 the Religious Freedom Coalition is dedicated to the equality of all mankind and the freedom of religious expression. The Religious Freedom Coalition maintains that Religious Freedom is the “first liberty” and wherever Religious Freedom is suppressed there is no true freedom of assembly, press or speech
Isn't that nice? Doesn't that pull a tear from your freedom-loving eyeballs? I wonder why the line under their name says, Promoting Religious Freedom and Family Based Legislation?
What does that mean, family-based? Oh, I should have read further. Under Marriage/Family we read, "The Religious Freedom Coalition works to ensure that marriage remains the union of one man and one woman." So, I guess if your religion says you can marry someone of the same sex, then it's not really a religion, and doesn't need freedom.
Oh, it gets better! Besides supporting legislation like the Marriage Protection Act they also list the Ten Commandments Defense Act. Yes, the RFC is working hard to protect all religions by trying to make sure the Ten Commandments are posted in public buildings. I'm sure the Muslims would really feel that their religious freedoms were being defended if they had to look at the Ten Commandments in public buildings. We'd have to discuss which Ten Commandments we'd use, of course. And, what about that pesky first commandment (second in the Hebrew version)? Doesn't that whole, No other gods before me thing violate religious freedom for anyone who doesn't believe in the Christian god?
So, clearly, the RFC is working for Christian Religious Freedom. Well, that's ok, right? After all, most of the world is Christian, right? Well, at least 33% is! And for those namby-pamby Christians who don't agree with the RFC, well, they're not really Christians anyway.
I'm feeling more free already...

Shouldn't the proper name be "Christians for Reformation of American Policies".
Seriously though, why are you surprised, every religious organisation has lobbyists. If you get a chance, look at CAIR, they are apologists for muslim extremism.
Surprised? No, I'm not surprised that they have a lobby organization. I'm still surprised (you'd think I'd learn by now) that they can say what they say with a straight face. They say that they have the best interests of America at heart, but really, they don't give a damn about America. They give a damn about their agenda and mask it in lies.
