From the start, it was dedicated to providing fair, balanced, nonsectarian news about religion to the secular and religious press. RNS is the wholly-owned subsidiary of RNF. RNF is an independent educational and secular nonprofit organization founded in 1999. RNF’s mission is to strengthen and improve the understanding of religion, improve public discourse about religion, advance religious literacy, and support religion journalism. In this, the Foundation works to provide comprehensive coverage of religion, religious freedom, and religious persecution across the globe.
