  • Lesser known, and particularly relevant for American politics today, is our 39th president's commitment to the Baptist value of religious liberty. The United States' most religious president in recent memory was also the most committed to the separation of church and state.

The article from Time magazine discusses former President Jimmy Carter's reflections on religious liberty, particularly in light of his involvement with the Newseum's Religious Freedom Center. Carter emphasizes the importance of religious freedom as a fundamental human right, highlighting its significance in his own life and presidency. He recounts his efforts to promote religious liberty globally, including his work with Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center, which often intersect with issues of faith and freedom. Carter also addresses contemporary challenges to religious freedom, such as the rise of authoritarian regimes and theocratic governance, which he sees as threats to this liberty. He advocates for a balanced approach where religious freedom does not infringe upon the rights of others, stressing the need for dialogue and understanding among different faiths to foster peace and mutual respect. His essay serves as both a personal testament and a call to action for upholding and defending religious liberty worldwide.
