“Theocrats are embedding Christian nationalism into the highest levels of government — and if we don’t push back now, the damage to our democracy could be lasting.”

FFRF is demanding that the Department of Defense immediately cancel any future “Secretary’s Prayer Meetings” and recommit to its constitutional obligation to religious neutrality. The Pentagon must represent all Americans — not function as a megachurch for one religion or political agenda. #FFRF #ChristianNationalism #theocracy #military #DOD https://ffrf.org/news/releases/sectarian-takeover-at-pentagon-must-be-stopped-says-ffrf/

"Many state legislators are making a concerted push to erode the separation of church and state, embedding specific religious doctrines into public institutions and policies. Such actions threaten the religious freedom of all citizens by privileging one faith over others and compromising the neutrality of government."

"This week, we report that Christian nationalism is on full display at all levels of government. After covering national state/church news, FFRF Senior Policy Counsel Ryan Jayne tells us about the many bills, good and bad, that FFRF's Action Fund is tracking in the states (and Puerto Rico). Then, George Mbuagbaw, acting president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, tells us about the many nonbelievers in that part of West Africa."

If I have $ to donate I give it to #FFRF because they actually fight for our rights, unlike the Dems who just tell us to vote harder.

The answer appears to be yes. People have stopped leaving churches en masse, per a new study released by Pew Research. #America’s secularization is on pause for now, likely because of the pandemic & the country’s sustained spirituality. Most Americans — 92% of adults — say they hold one or more spiritual beliefs that Pew asked about:

Three bills introduced in the North Dakota Legislative Assembly appear to herald additional legislation supporting a Christian Nationalist agenda, including one that declares the "Kingship of Jesus Christ"

“Since court rulings are not laws & only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, #Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach,” the resolution reads. It continues: “The Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell & restore the *natural* definition of #marriage, a union of one man & one woman” [tell that to the Mormons]

For folks upset by the encroachment of religion into government: Check out Freedom From Religion Foundation, or FFRF. Become a member, or get involved.

It’s a small nonprofit that is constantly challenging encroachments of separation of church and state.

Their newsletter is always a welcomed read where, among other things they highlight their various successes. Here’s a sample.

EDIT: Corrected a stupid typo 🤪

The closely watched case tests how far #SCOTUS is willing to go in a…steady expansion in the use of tax dollars to support parochial #education & a push by the #SupremeCourt in recent terms to enlarge #religion’s role in the public sphere.

The court has already allowed #government #funding of vouchers for #religious private #schools. Backers say allowing funding for religious charter schools, which parents also opt into, is the *logical* next step.

#SCOTUS to weigh whether states can allow #religious #PublicSchools

The #US #SupremeCourt agreed Friday to consider whether the state of #Oklahoma may fund a proposed #Catholic charter school, a blockbuster case that could redraw the line between #ChurchAndState by allowing #government to establish & directly #fund religious schools for the first time.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

For the record:

aka "Glory Hallelujah" the song links the Union with God's vengeance at the Day of Judgment (through allusions to biblical passages such as Isaiah 63:1–6, Revelation 19 and Revelation 14:14–19). [via wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Hymn_of_the_Republic?wprov=sfti1#]

Jerry Coyne, Steven Pinker, and Richard Dawkins are big mad that FFRF removed an anti-trans article from their website

A Democratic House lawmaker has taken on a job as a regional government affairs manager for a nonprofit organization focused on the separation of church and state.

In addition to serving as a state representative, Mickey Dollens, D-Oklahoma City, announced Wednesday that he will also work for the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

As a member of the reality-based community, I am continually *appalled* at the faith-based community.

I *strongly* oppose any mission "to renew a consensus of America as a nation under God"

Keep your childish delusions personal; don't force them on us adults.
