FOR SA (Freedom of Religion South Africa) is a legal advocacy organisation working to protect
and promote the constitutional right to religious freedom in South Africa. We do this by
engaging with government on policies, and making submissions to Parliament on draft
legislation, that may negatively impact on religious freedom. We also appear – as a “friend of
the court” or principal party – before government commissions and the Courts (including the
Constitutional Court) in cases affecting religious freedom. Increasingly, laws are proposed that
make the State rather than the Bible the highest authority on what Christians should believe,
and how they should act according to those beliefs. Many of these laws subscribe to a secular
liberalist world-view and as such, are in direct conflict with Christian and family value.
