He added, “This is perhaps the most radical statement against religious liberty ever uttered by someone seeking the presidency. It is also deeply revealing. Clinton believes that, as president, it is her job not to respect the views of religious conservatives but to force them to change their beliefs and bend to her radical agenda...

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Snopes is one of "them", skewing for the status quo, not to be trusted.
