Prioritising religious freedom
People who support this policy believe that the federal government should protect religious freedoms over other rights and freedoms (for example, by giving religious organisations the right to discriminate).
View on They Vote For You →How each party's members voted
Each bar is 100% of a party's current members in the House of Representatives whom They Vote For You places in one of its seven agreement groups for this policy (its own categories, shown as published). Bars show percentages of members, not vote totals; the number beside each bar is how many members that is. Members They Vote For You says haven't cast enough votes on the policy are counted separately, not in the bars.
