A resolution designating the week of May 2-8 as American Religious History Week has passed. The resolution recognizes the overwhelmingly positive impact of religious beliefs on America’s history.
House Resolution 774 states, in part, “Be it further resolved that the House of Representatives affirm the rich spiritual and diverse religious history of our nation from its founding to the current day; and be it further resolved, The House of Representatives reject, in the strongest possible terms, any effort to remove, obscure or purposely omit such history from our nation’s public buildings and educational resources.”
