Ken Starr's new book warns religious liberty in crisis: 'We have huge problems'
Fox News
Former Whitewater independent counsel Ken Starr spoke Friday about his new book, "Religious Liberty In Crisis" in an interview on "Your World with Neil Cavuto."
He contrasted today's political leaders' view of religious liberty with that of the Founders, whom he noted invoked such freedoms in almost everything they did. "We have huge problems. The founding generation had a benevolent view of the role of faith in American life. The very first Congress, the same Congress that passed the First Amendment and presented to the states for debate and ratification also passed the Northwest Ordinance to govern Ohio and Indiana...." "Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged," Starr said, quoting the ordinance governing the then-territories of today's Midwest.More Related News
