Do No Harm Act This bill makes the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) inapplicable to federal laws (or implementations of laws) that: protect against discrimination or the promotion of equal opportunity, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, Executive Order 11246 (concerning equal employment opportunity), the Violence Against Women Act, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) rules entitled "Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity"; require employers to provide wages, other compensation, or benefits, including leave; protect collective activity in the workplace; protect against child labor, abuse, or exploitation; or provide for access to, information about, referrals for, provision of, or coverage for, any health care item or service. Under current law, RFRA prohibits the government from substantially burdening a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, except in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest when using the least restrictive means. The bill makes RFRA inapplicable to: (1) terms requiring goods, services, functions, or activities to be performed or provided to beneficiaries of government contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or awards; or (2) denials of a person's full and equal enjoyment of a government-provided good, service, benefit, facility, privilege, advantage, or accommodation. To assert a RFRA claim or defense in a judicial proceeding, the government must be a party to the proceeding.

CFI supports the First Amendment right of every person to freedom from religion and freedom from religious discrimination. CFI is particularly concerned that discrimination continues against groups that have historically been marginalized for religious reasons. One person's religious beliefs are never an acceptable justification for discrimination or harmful conduct toward another person or group of individuals. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to support the Do No Harm Act (H.R. 3222 and S. 2918). In addition, CFI lobbied to oppose S. 2525, the First Amendment Defense Act. In addition, CFI lobbied to oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court (PN2259-115). Judge Kavanaugh has a record of support for religious discrimination.

CFI opposes school voucher programs, which divert money from public schools to private religious schools that are permitted to discriminate in admissions and employment. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to oppose H.R. 5199, the Education Savings Accounts for Military Families Act of 2018, S. 2517, the Military Education Savings Account Act of 2018, and identical provisions in the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). CFI strongly supports the Johnson Amendment, which protects the right of Americans to a secular electoral process free from partisan endorsement by tax-exempt religious organizations. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to keep out of FY 2019 appropriations legislation provisions that would weaken the Johnson Amendment, including Section 112 of the House Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. CFI supports the right of all service members, including nontheists, to freely exercise their religious belief or lack thereof, to receive equal treatment, and to receive equal access to employment opportunities in the U.S. military. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied for congressional oversight of military chaplain accessions policy and, in particular, oversight of the U.S. Navy's rejection of a qualified Humanist candidate despite the lack of a single nontheist chaplain in the Chaplain Corps, which is responsible for providing pastoral care to all service members regardless of their individual belief system. CFI supports the First Amendment right of every person to freedom from religion and freedom from religious discrimination. CFI is particularly concerned that discrimination continues against groups that have historically been marginalized for religious reasons. One person's religious beliefs are never an acceptable justification for discrimination or harmful conduct toward another person or group of individuals. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to support the Do No Harm Act (H.R. 3222 and S. 2918). In addition, CFI lobbied to oppose S. 2525, the First Amendment Defense Act. In addition, CFI lobbied to oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court (PN2259-115). Judge Kavanaugh has a record of support for religious discrimination.
