Liberty position: Nay
The House voted: 219 Yea, 212 Nay
Why Nay is the liberty side: Criticism of any religion is protected speech. A government office that monitors one kind of criticism around the world puts the state in the business of judging which opinions are allowed.

I say Nay was the liberty side. Agree, or not? Readers argue it here, in their own words. Not mine, and not checked the way a vote is.

Leave out anything private about anyone. The rules, what your account keeps, and what readers have changed so far

Would you score it differently?
