Whereas the United States of America is built on the principle of  E Pluribus Unum  and the welcoming of people across cultures and our strength through diversity; and
Whereas the Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of religion as one of the five fundamental freedoms detailed in the First Amendment: Now, therefore, be it
