The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a national 501 (c)(3) non-profit with nearly 40,000 nonreligious members working to keep state and church separate.

A commission stacked with Christian nationalists has produced exactly what you'd expect: a roadmap for expanding religion's role in government while pretending it's about “religious liberty.”

The 1A protects religious freedom by keeping government neutral, not religious.

[Dan Patrick @DanPatrick]

Today, I was in Washington, D.C., to present President @realDonaldTrump with the Religious Liberty Commission's report and our recommendations.

Over the past year, our Commission held seven hearings and heard testimony from over 100 witnesses from education, the military, healthcare, the private sector, and government. They shared firsthand accounts of how their religious liberty had been violated. Many have already won their cases before the Supreme Court, while others are still fighting in the courts.

Based on the testimony we heard and the Commission's findings, it became clear time and again that Americans' religious freedoms were being denied based on the fictitious claim that the "separation of church and state" is found in the Constitution. As a result, we presented President Trump with 12 recommendations to strengthen and restore religious liberty in America.

[FFRF @FFRF]

The Religious Liberty Commission claims “separation of church and state” is a myth while recommending the DOJ rewrite Establishment Clause guidance.

That's not protecting religious liberty.

That's asking the government to redefine the Constitution to favor religion.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The Trump administration issued a draft report from the president’s Religious Liberty Commission that says the separation of church and state is a legal error. https://t.co/aHZSmxb93h

[FFRF @FFRF]

The so-called “Religious Liberty Commission” report isn’t about protecting religious freedom.

It’s a blueprint for privileging religion, dismantling church-state separation, and using government power to advance Christian nationalism.

Real religious liberty protects everyone.

President Trump Receives Presentation of the Religious Liberty Commission Report https://t.co/v9UtwE5Ojt

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

Trump’s sham religious commission just released their report, and it’s what we all feared. They want to tear down the wall between church and state and inject extreme beliefs into the government. 

That's not religious freedom. It's an abuse of power that threatens the rights of every American.

[FFRF @FFRF]

Neither is Jesus.

The Constitution says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. "Separation of church and state" is the shorthand for that principle, one the Supreme Court has recognized for decades.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Dan Patrick: "Separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution"

[FFRF @FFRF]

Nobody is trying to "end religion." Churches are open across America, and the First Amendment protects everyone's right to worship, or not.

The real threat to religious freedom is politicians exploiting faith for political power while pretending they're the victims.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: They will close your churches. They’re trying to. They want to end religion. They have to end religion because their ideology doesn't work if you have strong religion.

[FFRF @FFRF]

The real "major threat" is the President attacking Americans for their religious beliefs or lack thereof while trying to rewrite the Constitution, which doesn't require belief in God to be an American.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: These are hardcore, godless communists, they are godless communists, all communists are godless. They don't believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion, 250 years ago. This is a major threat to our country

[FFRF @FFRF]

Oh, unfortunately, we think about it every day.

A “faith director” in every federal agency isn't a victory for religious liberty. It's an attempt to weave religion into the machinery of government. That's exactly why we have church-state separation.

[Acyn @Acyn]

White: And President Trump recognized that, so he created the White House faith Office and he put faith directors in every department, every single agency. Think about that from the State Department to Human Health Services to small business, every single agency and every single department has a faith director and most of them have a full staff to serve people of faith and to work on your behalf.

Opinion | The State Board of Education's insertion of Bible verses in the Texas curriculum is a distraction. Kids need well-trained teachers, not partisan fights, writes the Houston Chronicle editorial... https://t.co/psaDNWvu4c

[FFRF @FFRF]

The White House shouldn't have a "faith office" whose supporters campaign to keep it alive.

Government exists to represent Americans of every religion and none at all—not to institutionalize one administration's religious priorities.

[Acyn @Acyn]

“The president is doing win after win after win—so many wins that we can't even keep up with it and you probably don't know half of it. So we want to make sure you keep it up, you say yes, we've got 6 months until November. It's so important because the White House faith office is not guaranteed in the future. President Trump and his policies are not guaranteed in the future.”

[FFRF @FFRF]

Apparently, under Christian nationalism, discrimination isn't a violation. It's a payday.

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

A Texas judge refused to marry gay couples because of her Christian beliefs. She got a mild warning. She sued.

The courts just handed her $640,000.

In case you were wondering if anti-gay discrimination could be a profitable side hustle...

If your goal is to eradicate bigotry, the problem right now does involve Christians, just not in the way she thinks.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon: "We are very dedicated at the DOJ toward eradicating bigotry against all Americans of faith, but right now the crisis is with Jews and Christians"

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

This is a blatant assault on church-state separation. I guess Texas forgot that the First Amendment protects every American's right to practice any religion, or none at all.

Public schools are responsible for educating students, not forcing one religion down kids’ throats.

https://t.co/Sp4HKE9abS

[FFRF @FFRF]

They literally, explicitly did not.

We’re tired of having to repeat this, but we won’t let Christian nationalists rewrite American history.

The United States was not founded as a Christian nation.

It belongs right after The Odyssey, Beowulf, and The Lord of the Rings in the "Influential Works of Fiction" unit.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Texas is poised to require all public school students read the Bible as part of their mandatory book list, potentially violating the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.

[FFRF @FFRF]

They’re not just trying to inject Christianity into public schools. They’re also narrowing students’ understanding of the world by sidelining global cultures and history.

Public education should broaden young minds, not indoctrinate them into one religion or one worldview.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

The proposed statewide reading list would require, among other literary works, that schools teach Bible material to children as young as 6 years old up to young adults preparing to receive their diplomas.

The social studies proposal, meanwhile, eliminates the current sixth-grade world cultures course, deemphasizes world history outside of European tradition and dedicates more focus to Texas and the United States. https://t.co/ZQUZhCgnKg

[FFRF @FFRF]

This is the kind of persecution conservative Christians fantasize about experiencing. In reality, they're often the ones inflicting it.

Thankfully, this story ended with accountability instead of another victim being left behind.

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

A Christian school blocked a student from walking in graduation after she came out as gay and said she feared backlash from bigots. So she sued.

A year later, they've agreed to pay her $10,000 and erase the punishment from her record.

Incredible.

For years, abortion opponents insisted they only wanted to prosecute providers, not women.

Now a growing faction is openly pushing to criminalize women who obtain abortions.

This is exactly why FFRF opposes using government to enforce religious doctrine.
