A Republican candidate for governor in this state plans to ban mosques and non-Christian religions if elected
A Tennessee state representative running for governor stated he would ban mosques and non-Christian religions like Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism, arguing the First Amendment does not prohibit states from doing so. The candidate, Monty Fritts, claims Islam is a political movement incompatible with the U.S. and Tennessee constitutions and cited a spiritual calling for entering the race.
