Carl A. Anderson Bücher

Early in this nation's history, America was home to diverse faith-based communities seeking a place for religious practice. Initially marked by conflict, the concept of religious tolerance became foundational as the Founding Fathers established an independent nation. The ratification of the United States Constitution included The Bill of Rights, which outlines citizens' rights, with the First Amendment stating, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This principle laid the groundwork for the separation of church and state. However, in recent decades, state power has increasingly encroached upon the rights of individuals wishing to practice their faith, a trend that has not gone unnoticed by religious organizations. Carl A. Anderson, supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, has actively highlighted and defended against this growing governmental infringement on fundamental religious freedom. In his latest work, Anderson compiles thought-provoking speeches, articles, and essays that expose the unjust restrictions on religious beliefs. His compelling arguments emphasize the urgent need for action to prevent further erosion of the freedoms established by the Founding Fathers.
