Yesterday was International Religious Freedom Day, commemorating the signing of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.(Current version). Yesterday President Biden issued a Statement (full text) marking the day, saying in part:
We stand in defense of religious freedom not only as an expression of our deepest values but also because it is a vital national security priority. The United States will continue to rally the globe to protect and promote the right of freedom of religion or belief, including through multilateral coalitions such as the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance.
