Texas Freedom Network believes in God but not in the Christian Right. In fact, they have become a nationwide organization that includes more than 7,500 religious and community leaders, of all faiths, who are working to keep the religious right from unduly influencing politics in America. Issues the Texas Freedom Network have dealt with include prayer in schools, same-sex civil unions, and hate crimes. The TFN works to counter and monitor the initiatives of the Religious Right.
