    Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding 
                         religious intolerance.

Whereas the rights, liberties, and freedoms enumerated in the Constitution of 
        the United States are guaranteed to all citizens regardless of their 
        religious beliefs or affiliations; and
Whereas individuals of all religious denominations have made substantial 
        contributions to the establishment, preservation, and protection of the 
        system of government of the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives strongly opposes anti-
        Christian bigotry and all other forms of religious intolerance 
        and condemns all manifestations and expressions of religious 
        bigotry and intolerance;
            (2) the House condemns individuals and organizations that 
        foster intolerance, suspicion, hatred, or fear of individuals 
        who--
                    (A) hold values rooted in religious tenets;
                    (B) participate in the political process to ensure 
                that the laws of the Nation reflect such values; and
                    (C) advocate public policies that are respectful of 
                such values; and
            (3) it shall be the policy of the House to seek to ensure 
        that the rights of individuals to participate in the political 
        process of the Nation are not infringed on the basis of their 
        religious beliefs or affiliations.
