"In those wretched Countries where a Man cannot call his Tongue his own, he can scarce call any Thing else his own. Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing the Freeness of Speech; a Thing terrible to Publick Traytors." - Benjamin Franklin #1stAmendment

Avast, ye scallywags! Humanists ‘n atheists chart their course through this stormy life fearin’ no ghostly keelhaul in the afterlife! We do our good deeds not fer promises o’ golden doubloons in eternity, but ‘cause it be right, by thunder! We be good wi’out any sky-captain god steer’n our ship!

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Wow… shocker, these clips didn’t age well.🙄

Happy Constitution Day! Did you know that the Constitution is a SECULAR document? It was our founding fathers' wish that religion stay out of government, following in the footsteps of Rhode Island founder Roger Williams. The United States is not and has never been a Christian Nation. RIAtheists.com

A South Carolina School school district included a letter in their graduation packet to seniors from Rep. Magnuson that included evangelistic statements. We have confirmed that the school district will ensure this doesn't happen again. ffrf.us/4m90pNT

A federal court just struck down the Arkansas law requiring schools to display the state's preferred version of the Ten Commandments. This is a huge victory for the separation of church and state. Well done, @americansunited.bsky.social , @aclu.org , @ffrf.org et al! www.au.org/the-latest/p...

I am a self-identified secular humanist. Yes, that means “atheist.” Christian Nationalism is dangerous. Their ideology is “Christofascism,” and they’re also usually deeply racist. Think of Atwood’s Gilead, or “the KKK,” or you might note that the swastika was a cross. These are not good people.

I think the rest of us should counter with non-Christian professions: "Our Raëlist overlords forbid it." "My soul is already warmed by the Dark Lord!" "Sorry. Virgo says you're vibrating in the negative." "Prepare the virgin sacrifice!!!" www.reuters.com/legal/litig...

SHL will be joining activists across the nation to Rage Against The Regime in another 50-50-1 mass mobilization. The party is on Sat., Aug. 2nd from 9 to 11 am on River's Ave. Bring your flags. Bring your protest signs. Bring your voice! Click the link for details! www.meetup.com/lowcountryhu...

Please join us on Wednesday, August 6th for our first Freethinker's Forum. We'll examine our individual attitudes about religion to discover "Are you anti-religious?" More information is available at the link below: www.meetup.com/lowcountryhu...

If you are in the Charleston area, we hope you will join us this Sunday for this presentation! www.meetup.com/lowcountryhu...

🚨 Trump is again blurring the line between church and state. A president shouldn’t be rewarding CEOs for promoting religion or using public office to advance a “faith-centered” agenda. Government must serve all Americans — not just the religious. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court is letting the Trump admin proceed with abolishing the Department of Education — without explanation. This paves the way for Christian nationalists to further dismantle public education and funnel tax dollars to religious schools.

For tonight's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State," I discuss Alligator Alcatraz. I also share audio from an event I attended last weekend where a woman asked Christianity Today's Russell Moore why so many evangelicals are being so cruel. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Today's decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor is yet another assault on our nation's education system, part of the White Christian Nationalist Movement's decades-long project to destroy secular public schools.

This isn't just about court procedure. It’s about whether judges can stop attacks on birthright citizenship, LGBTQ+ rights, and more before the harm is done. This decision weakens checks on the Trump administration's power right when we need them most. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/u...

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.

Davis said her faith forbade her from what she saw as an endorsement of same-sex marriage. She's still whining about "God's definition of marriage." sbee.link/fbkjgq8my4

While we're still at the early stages of this case, today's decision is a significant first step. Tax dollars should never go to funding religious schools. We're proud to take a stand on behalf of our members in WV.
