The fourth annual Religious Liberty in the States report from the First Liberty Institute has ranked Florida as the most successful state during the past year at protecting religious liberty in the United States.
West Virginia, in stark contrast, is ranked the least successful state at protecting religious liberty though its state statutes or constitution.
First Liberty, which is the larges legal organisation in the US dedicated solely to defending religious liberty, released on 21 July its annual index ranking religious liberty protections for each of the country's 50 states, reports the Catholic News Agency (CNA).
