WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. foreign policy does not reflect the central importance of religious freedom, according to members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

“You cannot do statecraft without understanding the importance of religion,” said Dr. Don Argue, a Commissioner of USCIRF at an April 29 press conference. He noted the importance that former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright gave to religious freedom late in her tenure.
