After debate on my bill w/ @SenatorHarckham to ensure NYers court mandated to attend a substance use treatment program can exercise their right to participate in a nonreligious treatment program, the bill passed! Look fwd to passage in the Senate & @GovKathyHochul’s signature.

If you’re a New York Dem appalled by @NYCMayor’s remarks yesterday, sign up and help us start Secular Dems of New York. We cannot allow #ChristiananNationalism to be normalized in our party. We stand for religious freedom and inclusion of all faiths & none https://t.co/3WbymjPsBz

"Neidert’s hiring comes amid skyrocketing violence and hate rhetoric aimed at the LGBTQ community. Across the state and country, drag and Pride events have been increasingly targeted by far-right movements"

[SecularDems @SecularDems]

"The large turnout of younger Generation Z voters and other voters disturbed by that Dobbs decision and the looming threat of authoritarianism from people pushing for an officially Christian nation stopped the predicted 'red wave' from happening."

"I am terrified at the rise of Christian Nationalism because I have experienced it up close and personal. Violence was used against me and justified by the Bible." #ChristianNationalism

"Christian nationalists and their enablers are mobilizing to impose their unpopular ideas of morality on the rest of Americans."
This year's midterms show that by and large, America is rejecting #ChristianNationalism and the threat it poses to our country.

We’re so proud of Secular Dems of PA! Their work to elect candidates who support LGBT rights, bodily autonomy and science based policy is grabbing national headlines ⬇️

"Christian nationalism in the United States is, more often than not, more about loyalty to an idea of what an American is supposed to be than about devotion to Jesus."
We must understand and address the growing influence of #ChristianNationalism. https://t.co/3YSFZPZtRu

[SecularDems @SecularDems]

A megachurch pastor in Texas is saying that the conservative right should "impose their values" on the rest of the nation.

The religious beliefs of some cannot dictate the rights of all. This ideology is a dangerous threat to democracy.

@ndrewwhitehead, a sociologist who studies Christian nationalism, warns the escalation of political activity could exacerbate polarization.

Demanding transparency from all nonprofits, including churches, is required to protect free and fair elections.

Do you want people like this running our government? As you cast your votes this #ElectionDay, vote to protect the separation of church and state.

[SecularDems @SecularDems]

"As the population of American Nones grows, it is changing in substantial and important ways."

Secular voters are not a monolith, and as they grow in power they need to be taken seriously.

[SecularDems @SecularDems]

This #ElectionDay, we are proud to see secular Democrats running at every level nationwide. Show up to the polls and support Democratic candidates committed to protecting the separation of church and state, like those being endorsed by @cfequality!

Lobbying groups and politicians are getting bolder in their commitment to Christian Nationalism. The threat it poses will only grow as those with power and influence support its harmful values.
