Religion Clause Blog Is 8 Years old Today!

Religion Clause is 8 years old today! To long-time readers, as well as to those who have discovered the blog more recently, thank you for your interest and loyalty.  My Site Meter has recorded over 1.4 million visits since the blog began in 2005-- long ago in the world of social media.

Religion Clause is intentionally a niche blog-- with special appeal to those teaching Religion and Law or 1st Amendment courses, to those working professionally for advocacy organizations, to those litigating in the area or advising organizational clients, to journalists and other bloggers reporting on church-state and religious liberty developments, and to the intelligent citizen who is curious about law and policy in these areas. Religion Clause has often been ahead of many mainstream media in covering important and interesting stories.

In today's highly-politicized world of information, Religion Clause is committed to religiously and ideologically neutral reporting, with extensive links particularly to primary source material. I welcome your e-mails on leads for blog posts. I also urge you to e-mail me with any corrections that are called for in postings-- accuracy is an important goal on Religion Clause and readers' input is invaluable. You can reach me at religionclause@gmail.com. I also welcome Comments to this post with any suggestions for changes or improvements for the coming year. I hope you will all remain loyal readers and will continue to recommend Religion Clause to your colleagues and friends.
