This has been used time and time again in recent political battles. Unfortunately, this practice stealthily hijacked parts of the recent International Religious Freedom summit in Washington. A conference about religious freedom should take a more inclusive view on the wide array of global religious beliefs, or even non-belief.

America is now in a time where savvy religious and media organizations can use their vast resources to gain more influence than they ever have.
