CBNNews.com- The Justice Department is launching a program to protect Americans from religious discrimination.
CBN News traveled with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to Nashville, where he announced the "first freedom initiative."
He told leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention the initiative creates a religious freedom task force to review policies and cases of discrimination. He says the Justice Department will enforce the law to ensure all Americans are protected.
Gonzales said, "And obviously for those who are not educated, or willfully ignorant, or intentionally want to discriminate, I hope the record will show that we've been diligent in prosecuting those kinds of cases, 40 and hopefully that will also serve as deterrent."
We'll have Melissa Charbonneau's full interview with the attorney general on Thursday's 700 Club, including a discussion on issues involving illegal immigration.
