The media are covering our strenuous strivings in waves — and we at the Freedom From Religion Foundation are lapping it up. A reporter at Reuters took due note of our legal brief filed in the Mahmoud v. Taylor case when the Supreme Court announced its lamentable decision. “The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday in favor […]| Freethought Now
June 21, World Humanist Day, is a time when people of goodwill around the globe transcend sectarian and national differences to put human values above dogma, ideology and superstition.| Freethought Now
We at the Freedom From Religion Foundation have had a whole lotta legal shaking going on (with apologies to Jerry Lee Lewis). We sued twice in the past week as part of broader coalitions to protect the First Amendment — garnering national attention in the process. “Seven Arkansas families have filed a federal lawsuit to […]| Freethought Now
“Women are going to die” because of the Trump administration’s latest action on abortion, correctly asserts former U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill. Showing that the anti-abortion movement is ready to sacrifice pregnant women’s lives in its zealous quest to grant fetuses legal personhood is the Trump administration’s recent cruel decision to rescind federal guidelines to hospitals […]| Freethought Now
The Southern Baptist Convention's push to overturn marriage equality and prosecute women who seek abortions highlights its growing influence despite a decline in membership.

So insists He Gets Us, the organization that has spent millions of dollars on Super Bowl ad campaigns designed to modernize the perception of Christianity.

We at the Freedom From Religion Foundation seem to be making a habit of being in the spotlight. When we denounced the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling granting Catholic entities exemption from paying unemployment tax, Reuters quoted our Legal Director Patrick Elliott. And CNN cited statistics from a friend-of-the-court brief we filed in the case, among other major coverage. […]| Freethought Now
I’ve had a lot on my mind heading into Pride Month 2025, and sadly, though unsurprisingly, not all of it has been positive. The number of anti-trans bills introduced nationwide this year reached a record-shattering 914 at the time of writing (the previous record was 701 in 2024). The new federal budget received an 11th […]| Freethought Now
“He’s on a mission from God & nothing can stop what is coming.” So reads the infamous meme that President Trump recently shared on his social media site. The notorious Pepe the frog cartoon figure, which the alt-right has appropriated as an overt antisemitic dog whistle, is lurking in this image showing Trump walking down […]| Freethought Now
This week was a legally significant one for us at the Freedom From Religion Foundation. We announced that we will be filing a lawsuit against a soon-to-be law in Texas that will require all public school classrooms to prominently display the Ten Commandments. Our announcement got play in several Texas media outlets too numerous to list plus nationally on Univision.| Freethought Now
This might be a controversial take, but I believe in ghosts. I think a lot of people who spend time in LGBTQIA-plus spaces do to some extent because behind the joy and rainbows and disco pop, there is often a heaviness in these spaces. You can tell there are people missing who should be there […]| Freethought Now
Mike Judge’s satirical film “Idiocracy,” released back in 2006, painted a bleak and exaggerated picture of a future in which intelligence and critical thinking has all but vanished. While Judge’s intention was to make an absurd comedy, I can’t help but feel like it was less of a joke and more of a chilling prophecy. […]| Freethought Now
Photo by Jordan Whitt on Unsplash One of my favorite stories from my classical philosophy college courses is a particular episode between Plato and Diogenes the Cynic, who were both attempting to define a man. According to the tale, Plato had proffered the definition of “a featherless biped.” Upon hearing this, Diogenes, absolute chaos gremlin […]| Freethought Now
