Guest Sarah M. Estelle in dailyherald: Illinois has notable record in support of religious freedom.
As the United States reacts to the results of the midterm elections, politicians and media figures debate in the typical black-and-white, red-versus-blue fashion. Opportunities to frame the"other side" as Marvel-like villains are rarely missed in an increasingly fraught social media landscape.
This is the determination made by Religious Liberty in the States , which scores and ranks the 50 states on how well each protects religious liberty through legislation. The RLS index captures the extent to which people have the freedom to practice their religion in everyday life based on their state's laws, not just their ability to gather for worship.

Flores limited federal religious freedom protections, Illinois enacted its own Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1998. This act protects the ability of religious people to exercise their religion when other laws, even if inadvertently, would burden or restrict their ability to do so.
Politics -- especially in the digital age -- will continue in the same way it always has. Lines will continue to be drawn by politicians and media figures alike, without regard for nuance.
