Local religious leaders gathered in downtown Fargo on Friday for a rally in support of Measure 3.

North Dakota voters will decide next Tuesday if the measure should be added to the state constitution. Supporters say it is necessary because religious freedom is under attack.

Fargo Catholic Diocese Bishop Samuel Aquila was among those who spoke at the rally.

"And so whether one is Catholic, or Protestant, Jew or Muslim, Hindu or Sikh, Mormon or Buddhist, civil law must protect their God-given rights to exercise their faith and to live their faith," said Aquila.

Those who oppose Measure 3 say religious freedom is already guaranteed by the First Amendment.

More than 25,000 signatures were gathered to place the issue on the ballot.
