My Nonprofit Reviews

Last year I joined the local chapter of the FFRF because I believe that church and state should remain separate. We are deep in a fight against Islamism (the merging of Islam with government) and we must guard against falling victim to Christianism here. Religion has incited more horrific violence and nasty judgemental dogma than any other belief system, and I belief the best future for humanity is in learning how to be moral based on science and reason, instead of having to believe in some chastising deity. The FFRF has a terrific team of lawyers that assist when people are ready to bring charges based on the Establishment Clause of the constitution, and they are looking out for our free speech rights. In the days to come when right wing Christians are running both houses and the executive branch of our government, we can expect agnosticism, atheism, and secular humanism to be attacked while Christianism will be enshrined. FFRF has their work cut out for them and they can use all the support that you can give.

This photo shows a status of Jesus on public land that stands still in spite of the FFRF's efforts. Just two days ago I heard a story about a woman who works for the state in Swain County NC whose entire department has a prayer session at 10am every work day. If she chooses not to pray, she does not get a break but is expected to continue working. This kind of institutionalized religion violates labor laws and the constitution, yet it is pervasive. To the degree that we can bring our workplaces and public spaces into non-religious behavior, we will have a civilization nation that respects all its citizens.
