Does Religion Belong in National Parks?
In the 1990s, a federal lawsuit changed the privileged relationship that A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (ACMNP) enjoyed with US national parks. However, the changes had little effect on the ministry’s operations—ACMNP evangelists still operate in US national parks.

A quotation from Addison

A Man is glad to gain Numbers on his Side, as they serve to strengthen him in his private Opinions. Every Proselyte is like a new Argument for the Establishment of his Faith. It makes him believe that his Principles carry Conviction with them, and are the more likely to be true, when he finds they are conformable to the Reason of others, as well as to his own. And that this Temper of Mind deludes a Man very often into an Opinion of his Zeal, may appear from the common Behaviour of the Atheist, who maintains and spreads his Opinions with as much Heat as those who believe they do it only out of Passion for God’s Glory.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-10-02), The Spectator, No. 185

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (#FFRF) is doing #God's work 😁 Consider #donating to their efforts to enforce the #FirstAmendment and keep #unconstitutional #proselytization out of our #publicSchools. #Students have the right to be free from #religious #indoctrination in the public schools.
