How to protect your faith-based nonprofit in the next America

Religious liberty wins at the Supreme Court can have little effect if an organization does not take the essential steps required to claim these protections. The courts—including the court of public opinion—have proven that they are not afraid to analyze whether an organization is “religious enough.” In a culture that has proven its increasing willingness to cancel organizations for their beliefs, organizations that lack an authentic and legally sound religious identity are not just soft targets for cancel culture and accusation, they may inadvertently have waived religious liberty protections to which they are entitled. This Napa Legal webinar discusses the concrete steps an organization can take to secure its religious identity amidst cancel culture.

The distinction between “the spiritual” and “the religious” is just one example of how culture tries to limit moral formation to personal experience—independent of religious practice and institutional devotion.
