California Freethought Day

As part of their closing, MAAF has gifted us $3,000, and we are actively exploring ways to carry forward their mission in support of secular military members in California. Your ideas and input are welcome. 🇺🇸 (3/3)

MAAF will close its nonprofit at the end of this year, a casualty of the current administration’s targeted actions against organizations like ours that challenge Christian Nationalism.

Here is MAAF President Jason Torpy speaking at our 2024 event:

It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (MAAF), a steadfast advocate for non-religious active-duty service members and veterans since 1998. (1/3)

We'd hoped to welcome Rob to Sacramento to share his work in person. Regardless, his values will continue to resonate with those who believe in freedom of conscience, democracy, and a society grounded in compassion.

We’re saddened by the news about Rob Reiner, whose work has reflected a commitment to Humanism and a secular government, most recently through his documentary "God & Country" that examined the dangers of Christian nationalism.
