I'm at the Presidential Commission on Religious Freedom and... Yikes. An assemblage of Christian Nationalism, fake history, slander of nonreligious people, and outright Christian Supremacy.

I spoke to @nickfish.me, president of @atheists.org, about the ordinary Americans coming together to fight white Christian nationalism

NEW: After my last report on the National Prayer Breakfast, America’s biggest secular groups tell me they've had it with members of Congress still involved. Bottom line: They’re calling out participants, even Democrats, as unpatriotic…

Today's split decision allowing the OK Supreme Court's ruling to stand is a stark reminder of the knife's edge that religious freedom — contrasted with exclusionary White Christian Nationalism — and public education are balancing on in America.

The court got it right: It's unconstitutional to fund religious schools with taxpayer dollars. But Christian Nationalists won't stop here, and neither will we. We'll keep fighting to defend the First Amendment against revisionists and religious supremacists. www.atheists.org/2025/05/athe...

A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.

Proud of the work of secular advocates and partners in WA who took on this issue and fought to make it happen. We have to fight to stop the bad laws while ALSO working to advance good policy.

I received an award this weekend, a recognition, alongside some other folks whose activism, organizing, mutual care, and policy work I look to in awe and for inspiration. It's taken a little bit to process this, plus, you know, I still had two days of photography to finish! @atheists.org #AACon2025

1) We don't need god. 2) We don't want god. 3) We don't need any supernatural help to make our nation any of those things.

No, you're not seeing double. We just filed YET ANOTHER Supreme Court brief in a second case that threatens our nation's secular public schools. With the Christian Nationalist movement hell-bent on destroying public education, it's up to all of us to save our schools. And we won't stop fighting.

Yesterday, we led a coalition of secular groups urging the Supreme Court to make it crystal clear that a religious charter school cannot be funded with taxpayer money. Grateful to have @americanhumanist.bsky.social, @secularstudents.bsky.social, Center for Inquiry, and Secular Coalition join us.

As we said in our brief in this case, cutting out the countless Americans who work for religious nonprofits from basic safety net programs like unemployment insurance simply because their employer might have a religious reason for doing their work gets the First Amendment disastrously wrong.

He calls protecting the dignity, safety, and lives of millions of people "silly." I call it absolutely necessary in the face of a rising authoritarian movement.

NEW: Noah Weiland spoke to Dr. Marks & we updated the article: “I did everything I possibly could for this administration to work with them in an effort to restore confidence in vaccines,” Dr. Marks said in the interview. “It became clear that’s not what they wanted.”

Every word of @imillhiser.bsky.social's introduction to this piece is — infuriatingly — true. And the stakes are high for the millions of Americans who work for religiously-affiliated charities all across the country.

There are multiple elements of this that will shock people: 1) Religious groups teach Bible classes in schools 2) ...during the school day 3) ...in part because Ohio law REQUIRES schools to allow them to do so.

Donald Trump has issued an executive order attempting to shut down the Department of Education. This is just the latest lawless attempt to undermine secular, inclusive, public education by the White Christian Nationalist movement, ripped from the pages of their Project 2025 agenda.

Abortion access. Bodily autonomy. Freedom of thought. We will always stand up for the rights of all people to be free from religious coercion. And religious equality, church-state separation, and secular government are the best ways to protect those rights. #internationalwomensday
