ABOUT FAITH & FREEDOM NEWS

Bringing Light to a World in Need

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32

Our Mission

Why Faith and Freedom Matters

Faith and Freedom News (FFN) is a project of ETHAN — Engagement to Halt Antisemitism and Negationism — a media platform dedicated to safeguarding religious freedom, upholding human rights, and fostering interfaith harmony. At a time when misinformation and bias threaten to divide communities, FFN stands as a beacon of truth, justice, and peace.

Millions of people across the globe continue to suffer under religious persecution. Their places of worship are targeted, their identities criminalized, and their voices systematically silenced. In many regions, religious minorities face discrimination, forced displacement, violence, and legal exclusion simply for practicing their faith. Defending religious freedom is therefore not only a moral imperative but a cornerstone of human dignity and democratic values.

Faith and Freedom News is committed to breaking the silence surrounding these injustices, exposing oppression wherever it exists, and standing firmly with communities whose rights are denied. Our mission is rooted in the belief that freedom of belief is universal and indivisible, regardless of geography, creed, or political system.

“At a time when faith is increasingly politicized and weaponized, defending religious minorities is not about favoring one belief over another — it is about upholding justice, protecting freedom of conscience, and affirming the right of every individual to live without fear because of what they believe.”
