I'm all for this new bill banning religious persecution. It's about time we take a stand against those who try to harm others because of their beliefs. This bill will help protect people of all faiths and ensure that everyone can practice their religion without fear of discrimination or violence. It's a step in the right direction for our country. #UnitedStatesHRBill8182 #ReligiousPersecutionAct2026 #ProtectingReligiousFreedom
