Our law does not exist as a shortcut to force people to follow the rules of your religion.

Our law exists to prevent just that.

As we approach the end of the 5-year loan period, we need to raise the funds necessary to pay back the loans. We have accumulated $49,000 and still need to raise $156,000 more. (3/4)

The Secular Hub building was purchased outright in 2021 with substantial donations and $205,000 in zero interest loans from a key group of our own members. Traditional financing was not available so these forward thinking individuals opened their pockets and brought this great idea to life. (2/4)

There are 4,532 churches in Colorado. There is only ONE physical space devoted solely to creating a welcoming environment for the secular community to gather with like-minded individuals. The Secular Hub stands alone as a unique resource. 🧡 (1/4)

This week on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers revealed he's an atheist and doesn't believe in the afterlife:

"I think this is it...I don't think there's anything after we die, but that is why you gotta find it here...You gotta make everything here count."

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us."

Hi Marty. Thanks for your message. The starter pack belongs to American Atheists, so I'd recommend reaching out to them. (We just posted/pinned it on our page for the benefit of new users who find us on Bluesky).

This is a clear violation of the Constitution and we’re pretty sure that nonprofits don’t get to introduce bills, even in Idaho.

Luckily, @ffrf.bsky.social isn’t.

We’re calling out all the ties to Christian nationalism and Project 2025 in the incoming administration so everyone can be ready to fight back.

No matter how many times Christian Nationalists repeat the lie, it doesn't change the fact: The Bible is not a foundational text of American history and doesn't deserve any special status in public school curricula.

And targeting elementary schoolchildren with this indoctrination is heinous.
