Barack Obama on Freedom of Religion at the Esperanza National Prayer Breakfast
June 19, 2009
We can begin by giving thanks for the legacy that allows us to come together. For it was the genius of America's Founders to protect the freedom of all religion, and those who practice no religion at all.

It is this freedom that makes our nation stronger.
