249 years ago, the world's first secular democratic republic was founded by freethinking skeptics, its Declaration drafted by a so-called "howling atheist."
Today, we remember our roots, and we fight in the great American tradition against the establishment of religion and "tyranny over the mind."

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.

Critics of the administration have had their visas denied or cancelled, been refused entry at our airports, and have even been detained for weeks on end. Sadly, we simply cannot guarantee the safety of our guests, especially those from the global south. This is the sad reality of America today.

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.

If the Supreme Court gives even more special privileges to religious employers, millions of American workers — particularly those who work for charities, in social services, or in medicine — will pay the price. Here's what our legal director @gtblackwell.atheists.org had to say:

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.

This sort of rhetoric is disgusting, un-American, and downright dangerous. No one is above the law.
And it is exactly what the White Christian Nationalist ideology has been pushing for years — the idea that Donald Trump is a "savior" figure who is ordained to rule and is answerable only to god.
