The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a national 501 (c)(3) non-profit with nearly 42,000 nonreligious members working to keep state and church separate.

New survey: 83% of nonreligious Americans see empathy as a core moral value, compared to just 42% of white evangelicals.

If compassion threatens your religious worldview, perhaps the problem isn’t compassion.

Religious organizations shouldn’t get a free pass when it comes to government oversight.

If faith-based groups are exploiting vulnerable workers, they should face the same scrutiny and accountability as anyone else.

Religious freedom is not a license to break the law.

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

After years of being stonewalled in their FOIA requests, @AmericanAtheist is suing U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

They want information about oversight of faith-based groups who say they bring in workers on R-1 religious worker visas.

Radical Islam is dangerous, but its presence in the U.S. is relatively small. Christian nationalism, meanwhile, has substantial political influence and seeks to enshrine religious beliefs into law.

One is a fringe movement here. The other has a seat at the table of power.

OUR Religion? WE don't have a religion.

The Constitution protects everyone’s right to practice their religion, change their religion, or reject religion altogether.

Trump: Americans are going to stand up and declare that we will preserve our religion.

[FFRF @FFRF]

The most dangerous thing about blind faith is that it can convince otherwise decent people to commit unimaginable atrocities while believing they’re doing God’s will.

There is no belief so sacred that it should be beyond questioning.

Paul Mackenzie told his followers they could meet Jesus through starvation.

A Kenyan court has now found him and 28 associates guilty in the deaths of 191 people.

190 of them were children.

If this is the best plan Christian nationalists have for bringing America back to Jesus, we're feeling pretty optimistic about the future of secularism.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear spoke with me about why he vetoed anti-LGBTQ legislation, including anti-trans bills.

His new book is called “Go and Do Likewise: How we heal a broken country.”

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a proud partner of #VoteEarlyDay (Oct 24) — because when we vote early, we send a message of defiance to the Christian nationalists in power.

What's your early voting plan?

The Botkin sisters deserve credit for admitting the harm they caused. But they were teenagers when religious fundamentalists used them to promote female submission.

The real problem is an ideology that treats women’s independence as rebellion and their subjugation as virtue.

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

The Botkin sisters once told Christian girls to serve their fathers until marriage, then serve their husbands.

Now they’re apologizing for all the harm that message caused.

Your freedom from prison should never depend on surrendering your freedom of religion.

Kudos to American Atheists and Colorado advocates for securing this important victory. Recovery should be about getting help, not being coerced into religious participation.

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

Colorado parolees shouldn’t have to choose between their beliefs and staying out of prison.

After years of advocacy by atheists and allies, the state has agreed to offer secular recovery options.

Here’s how organizers made it happen.

At #FFRFCon26 Rep. Jared Huffman and Rep. Pocan talked about Huffman's new book: "No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism." Here's them after their talk with FFRF Co-Presidents Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker.

[FFRF @FFRF]

At the panel "The Next Generation of Humanism" with Drew McCoy at #ffrfcon26 some attendees gave some great advice on how to keep younger people coming to humanist communities: feed them and give them something meaningful to do!

I’m not sure you understand what “science,” “truth,” or even “understand” mean.

But confidently misusing all three in one sentence is impressive.

[Wendell @wendelltalks]

There is no science without God. Only a few will understand the truth of this statement.

[FFRF @FFRF]

Apparently, in Mark Meckler’s version of “sane times,” Christians get religious liberty and everyone else gets tarred and feathered.

[Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch]

Mark Meckler says that "in sane times" the person who delivered the satanic invocation would have been tarred and feathered and the members of the city council would have been "physically removed" from of office."

[FFRF @FFRF]

And when people put God above human rights, equality, science, and the Constitution, everything else suffers.
We’ve seen what happens when religion takes priority over people.

That’s why secular government matters.

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

When God is put first, everything else takes its proper place.

[𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖋𝖊𝖗 @LucifersTweetz]

If God can forgive murderers and pedophiles but can’t forgive someone for being an atheist, then He’s not a God worth worshipping.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

The same people warning about "sharia law" are the ones demanding live streamed executions, book bans, baring journalists from the White House, eroding women's rights, rounding up people in our streets, and legislating the Bible in schools, all in the name of "Christianity."
