CFI supports freedom of and from religion for all persons. In the 2nd Quarter of 2020, CFI lobbied to support H.Res. 512/S.Res. 458, Calling for the global repeal of blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy laws. This legislation calls on the State Department to work to repeal these criminal laws in countries around the world.

CFI believes that it is important to celebrate the role of clear thinking in our countrys greatest accomplishments-those past and those yet to come. In the 2nd Quarter of 2020, CFI lobbied in support of a resolution to establish a National Day of Reason (H.Res. 947) that encourages us to apply reason, critical thought, the scientific method, and free inquiry to improving the welfare of humanity. In the 2nd Quarter of 2020, CFI lobbied against a proposed regulation that would allow religious organizations to discriminate against nonbelievers in federally funded education services. The proposed regulation, Equal Participation of Faith-Based Organizations in Department of Education Programs and Activities: Implementation of Executive Order 13831 (RIN# 1840-AD45), would allow faith-based organizations to accept federal grant funding for public service projects while forcing nonbelievers to participate in religious services, turning away nonbelievers who seek the public services the faith-based organization has agreed to provide, and/or engaging in religious practices that violate the conscience of nonbeliever beneficiaries. The proposed regulation eliminates critical church-state protections including the requirement that faith-based organizations that accept these funds must provide each beneficiary with written notice of the beneficiary's right to an alternate referral to a secular service provider of comparable quality, who has the capacity to accept the beneficiary, and is within reasonable geographic proximity. The proposed regulation would unacceptably harm the right of nonbelieving Americans to access public services on an equal, secular basis.
