# ReligiousLiberty.TV

> The most comprehensive online resource for tracking connections and patterns in U.S. religious liberty case law — covering First Amendment free exercise and establishment clause litigation, RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) cases, and conscience rights since 2008. Operated by Founders' First Freedom, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and edited by Michael D. Peabody, Esq.

ReligiousLiberty.TV is an independent research tool (not an advocacy outlet) that helps academics, journalists, legal professionals, and the public understand how religious liberty cases connect to each other across decades of litigation. The site features a searchable case library of over 400 cases with AI-generated synopses, filterable by topic, court, jurisdiction, outcome, and year. Case organization is AI-assisted and based on analysis of the full site archive. This is a work in progress and should be used as a research starting point rather than an authoritative legal citation source.
