Alliance Defending Freedom is a non-profit Christian organization that seeks to break down barriers that restrict religious freedom in many Western countries while defending people from a culturally relativistic worldview that disregards their moral convictions. They support people on various issues, including parental rights, free speech, property rights, sexual orientation, and abortion.

Alliance Defending Freedom is a non-profit legal organization based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Michael Farris and Jay Sekulow founded it in 1997 as the Alliance Defense Fund. The group’s goal is to defend religious liberty for all people, claiming this freedom is “under assault” from a secular progressive movement.

Objectives of Alliance Defending Freedom:

1. Promote the centrality of marriage and family as the foundation of culture.
2. Defend the right to life of all humans from conception to natural death.
3. Uphold Western Civilization’s core values of freedom and democracy from the growing threats posed by totalitarian governments, militant atheism, ethnic nationalism, and radical Islam.
4. Encourage better education by promoting the teaching of Western Civilization and Judeo-Christian ethical principles in public schools.
5. Urge Christians to practice their faith through political action.

Alliance Defending Freedom promotes public policy that is based on their fundamental beliefs. For example, AFF supports a moratorium on abortion and encourages using natural family planning as an alternative to abortion. AFF insists on protecting religious liberty for all Americans, particularly Christian ones. They also oppose teaching “Dr. Seuss” in schools because they believe it portrays violence and miscegenation to children.

The organization has supported the work of other Christian organizations that believe in the same goals. For example, AFF has contributed to its human rights and global freedom position. They have also worked with them on the issue of protecting religious freedom for Christians. In 2007, AFF contributed to an initiative to stop China’s oppression of its people.

Alliance Defending Freedom supports pro-life legislation, such as laws against abortion and assisted suicide. They also support legislation that would help educate children about sexual responsibility. AFF also supports the traditional family. It has supported bans on abortion and same-sex marriage.

In 2002, Alliance Defending Freedom joined other Christian organizations to create a campaign against the teaching of “Dr. Seuss.” They were opposed to the portrayal of violence in his children’s books. Some groups have criticized Alliance Defending Freedom for their views on abortion, same-sex marriage, and teaching “Dr. Seuss” in schools. Visit this page for more information.
