The Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy’s Religious Liberty in the States (RLS) is a project measuring legal safeguards for religious liberty across the United States. It allows office holders, community leaders, citizens, and scholars to compare state constitutions and statutory laws with respect to certain legal safeguards intended to protect citizens’ free exercise rights.

Information about RLS’s 2022 index, data, methodology, conclusions, and related information will be made fully accessible on this website in September 2022 when the first edition of the RLS index is launched.
