Ted Cruz is planning a major rally around religious liberty in November at Bob Jones University in South Carolina, the latest in his continued push to win over evangelical voters who comprise a key voting bloc in the Republican primaries.

The rally, to be held on November 14, is modeled after a similar one that Cruz held in August in Iowa. Cruz told a Des Moines crowd of more than 2,500 then that, “There is a war on faith in America today.”

Cruz has made outreach to conservative Christians central to his candidacy. He launched his campaign in March at Liberty University in Virginia, the world’s largest Christian university. He traveled to Kentucky to support clerk Kim Davis after she was arrested for refusal to issue gay marriage licenses. And he talks repeatedly about the threats against religious freedom on the campaign trail.

Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, is expected to join Cruz at the Bob Jones University rally, along with twin brothers Jason and David Benham, whose reality TV show on HGTV was cancelled after making comments issue gay marriage licenses. And he talks repeatedly about the threats against religious freedom on the campaign trail.

1. It's Ted's kind of place

Is Segregation Scriptural? (Bob Jones Sr | Easter Sunday: April 17, 1960)

... Now, we folks at Bob Jones University believe that whatever the Bible says is so, and we believe it says certain fundamental things that all Bible-believing Christians accept; but when the Bible speaks clearly about any subject, that settles it ... People come along and say,"Well, God is the Father of everybody". No, He is not. God is the Father of born-again people ...Now, notice ...the twenty-sixth verse of the seventeenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles .... "and hath determined. . the bounds of their habitation". Now, what does that say? That says that God Almighty fixed the bounds of their habitation. That is as clear as anything that was ever said ... God Almighty did not make of the human race one race in the sense that He did not fix the bounds of their habitation. That is perfectly clear. It is no accident that most Chinese are in China ... Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek .. I never met a greater man ... He married a Chinese woman. That is the way God meant it to be ... Well, away back yonder our forefathers went over to Africa and brought the colored people back and sold them into slavery ... But the white people have helped the colored people build their churches, and we have gotten along together harmoniously and peacefully; and everything has come along fine ... No two races ever lived as close together as the white people and the colored people here in the South and got along so well ... God Almighty may have overruled and permitted the slaves to come over to America so that the colored people could be the great missionaries to the Africans ... Wherever we have the races mixed up in large numbers, we have trouble ... God never meant for America to be a melting pot ... If you are against segregation and against racial separation, then you are against God Almighty because He made racial separation ... We should have let the Africans stay in Africa instead of bringing them here for slaves, but did you colored people ever stop to think where you might have been if that had not happened? Now, you colored people listen to me. If you had not been brought over here and if your grandparents in slavery days had not heard that great preaching you might not even be a Christian ...We had planned to build a school, just like Bob Jones University, here in the South for colored people. We wanted to build it. But we have run into this agitation now that makes it difficult ... You say slavery was not right. Well, I say it was not right. I say the colored people should have been left over in Africa ...
