Interfaith Alliance, a leading advocate for healthy boundaries between religion and government, is disappointed by yesterday's ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Rev. Roake v. Brumley that allowed Louisiana to enforce its law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom from Kindergarten to college. Interfaith Alliance was one of 20 religious organizations that co-signed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case.
As a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, Interfaith Alliance is appalled by the recent surge of Islamophobic hate speech and incitement against NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and the broader pattern of extreme hate directed against public officials and vulnerable minorities. This hateful rhetoric seeks to spread polarization and division and wrongly pit diverse American communities against one another.
WASHINGTON, DC – Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, is deeply disturbed by the Supreme Court’s ruling today in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. The decision clears the way for further discrimination against diverse groups and undermines public education. While falsely claiming the mantle of religious freedom, it in fact suppresses diversity and promotes exclusion.
On February 10, 2025, Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush - president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance - appeared on CNN discussing Trump's creation of a task force to investigate the federal government's "targeting" of Christians.
