Furthermore, the resolution calls for the celebration of the diversity of Minnesotans and affirms the right of each person to hold beliefs and practice religion according to their conscience. It promotes respect for individuals of all religious backgrounds and commits the legislature to protect the rights of all people to practice their religion without interference from government or other entities.
