Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

We stand in solidarity with our friends at @atheists.org & humanists across the globe. It's ridiculous and deeply embarrassing that our home - one of the first countries to constitutionally guarantee the right to free speech - is now considered an unsafe place for religious minorities to gather.

It simply is no longer viable for us to hold the 2026 World Humanist Congress in Washington DC as planned, with the US in the state it is. Delighted to announce that we will instead be hosted by the wonderful people of Ottawa, Canada!

An important announcement about the 2026 World Humanist Congress that American Atheists was scheduled to host in Washington, D.C.

When I talk about scientists who share their values, I think this is one of the reasons that Carl Sagan was wildly successful. At the heart of his science as an intense humanism and that shone through in how he presented himself on television and in every sentence. Humanism is the point of pop sci.

Breaking news! In a unanimous decision, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that a Louisiana law requiring public schools to permanently display a government-approved version of the Ten Commandments in every classroom is unconstitutional. ffrf.us/4jX8yUf

How atheists, humanists and democrats are coming together to resist the influence of white Christian nationalism under Trump

Only 113 self-described atheists are in the U.S. federal prison system—just 0.073% of all inmates. While caveats apply, for a group often labeled "immoral," that’s a strikingly small number. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/in-2025-at...

America needs atheists — always, but especially now. So come all ye godless patriots TOMORROW, June 22, at 2 p.m.

We speak up because religion doesn’t stay in religious spaces. It creeps into classrooms, courtrooms, and healthcare decisions. We see it. We name it. We fight it. #secularstudents #separationofchurchandstate #nonreligious #atheist #agnostic #humanist

If you want your son to grow up to be emotionally open, kind, and confident in who he is, join us for a conversation on raising boys beyond toxic masculinity next Tuesday, June 10! 👨‍👩‍👦 Free webinar 👇 goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

How did Sen. Joni Ernst "apologize" for dismissing GOP-fueled deaths by telling constituents "we all are going to die"? Telling them to "embrace my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." No remorse. Just religious marketing. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/sen-joni-e...

This is yet another reminder that being Christian doesn't make someone more moral. We nonreligious are fighting to save lives and expand access to care — not excuse preventable deaths with empty preaching. Morality means action, not evangelism.

Hanging at #Pittsburgh #Pride today. We’re here to celebrate Pride month, show up in support of the LGBTQIA community and have some fun. Come see us! Happy #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
