Transcendent reality, while experienced by humans, is not created by humans. It originates in Something, or Someone, that is greater-than-human.
— First Freedom Curriculum, Lesson 3

Lesson 3 examines two categories of arguments (cases) for religious freedom: moral and religious. The moral argument begins with the question of how the dignity of the human person requires religious freedom. The religious category examines how adherents of three different religious traditions – Christianity, Islam, and Judaism – can draw on their own sacred sources to make explicitly religious arguments for religious freedom.
