What the document says

“The next conservative Administration must champion the core American value of religious freedom”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 262

The chapter says religious freedom correlates significantly with poverty reduction, economic growth and peace. It asks that all staff be trained on that connection, that it be integrated into all programs including the five-year country strategies due for update in 2025, that missions strengthen ties with local faith leaders, and that Congress appropriate funding specifically to support persecuted religious minorities.

What the document actually says

“The next conservative Administration must champion the core American value of religious freedom”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 262
That sentence, in plain words

The next team must stand up for religious freedom. It is a core American value.

What this is about

Religious freedom means people can follow any faith. The book says it helps countries grow richer. It wants that built into every aid program.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
