FFRF is mourning the shutdown of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting — a key goal of the Christian nationalist Project 2025.

This is more than a budget cut.

It’s a deliberate blow to independent journalism and an ominous sign for American democracy.

The number of Christian-majority countries fell between 2010 and 2020 Countries that lost their Christian majorities all saw growing percentages of religiously unaffiliated people.

"Countries that lost their Christian majorities all saw growing percentages of religiously unaffiliated people – a broad group that includes those who say they have no religion or who identify religiously as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.”"

Dollens: Blasphemy law needs to be repealed The solution is clear. Repeal the state’s blasphemy law and bring Michigan in line with constitutional principles.

Many would be shocked to learn that blasphemy is still a crime in Michigan — a ludicrous situation that needs to come to an end.

Trump Administration Lets Federal Employees Push Religion in Workplaces | Common Dreams "The Trump regime just handed Christian nationalists a loaded weapon: your federal workplace," said one critic.

FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor said that "these shocking changes essentially permit workplace evangelizing, but worse still, allow supervisors to evangelize underlings and federal workers to proselytize the public they serve."

Office of Personnel Management religion-workplace changes shockingly unconstitutional The Freedom From Religion Foundation deplores as outrageous and unconstitutional a memo the Office of Personnel Management released today that purports to protect religious expression in the federal w...

An outrageous and unconstitutional a memo the United States Office of Personnel Management released yesterday says “during a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the nonadherent should rethink his religious beliefs.” ffrf.us/4l79zKa

This is dangerous, deceptive, and exploitative.

Faith groups don’t get a free pass to use kids for religious propaganda.

US to allow federal workers to promote religion in workplaces Federal employees may discuss and promote their religious beliefs in the workplace, the Trump administration said on Monday, citing religious freedoms protected by the U.S. Constitution.

Federal employees can now proselytize coworkers — even supervisors can try to convert staff, as long as it’s not “harassing.”

A gift to evangelicals and the myth of “anti-Christian bias.”

Tom Lehrer, influential musical satirist, dies at 97 The songwriter and math professor found a following with his satirical political songs.

FFRF salutes the irreverent genius of Tom Lehrer — a master of satire who pulled no punches when skewering religion, politics, and hypocrisy.

The nation's founders would be horrified by the way today's politicians mix church & state - LGBTQ Nation Presidential administrations on both sides of the aisle seem determined to bring God into their work. Why?

We may not share Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s religious beliefs, but we’re proud to stand with him in opposing Christian nationalism.
