YouTube video by AndrewLSeidel Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Constitutional Attorney ENDS THE DEBATE

Or maybe we're talking about his second book, American Crusade, which illustrates how the religious right has weaponized the US court systems

But now we look to Constitutional Attorney @andrewlseidel.bsky.social to bring clarity to one of the most important debates

Normally when we mention @andrewlseidel.bsky.social it is because we are talking about his work with @americansunited.bsky.social or talking about his book The Founding Myth which debunks the "Christian Nation" narrative

Okay, we've driven around the Triangle and don't see any piles of particularly Christian-looking clothes, so we're assuming somehow, just like every other scheduled Rapture since the concept was conceived in 1844, it didn't happen.

We do hope everyone enjoyed apples and honey for Rosh Hashana.

All the 'Biblical signs' pointing to the rapture coming TOMORROW Speculation on social media that the end of days will arrive on September 23 has reached a frantic point, but many faith leaders continue to push back on the claims.

This account will go on hiatus for 48 hours. If the world doesn't end tomorrow, we'll be back.

Happy Rapture!

I spoke to @nickfish.me, president of @atheists.org, about the ordinary Americans coming together to fight white Christian nationalism

Meme from The Office comparing "forcing 10 commandments into public schools for morality" with "breaking the 4th commandment debating bill on the Sabbath"

There's a lot of "ugly" in Trump's "Big Beautiful" budget bill, and one of the most alarming is the creation of the nation's first national voucher program.

Why are voucher programs so bad? Let us break it down for you: www.au.org/the-latest/a...

Trump’s big bill includes an ‘unprecedented’ tax credit for a national school voucher program. Here’s how it would work | CNN Business Part of the massive domestic policy bill currently moving through Congress known as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” includes an unprecedented $5 billion national school voucher program.

We’ll save you the click: it would dramatically funnel money away from public schools by allowing billionaires to use private, religious schools like tax shelters.

Thank you, @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social, for joining the Congressional Freethought Caucus!

Your support champions the vital principle that religious influence should have no role in policy, protecting the rights of all Minnesotans.

Welcome!

Humanism demands that we recognize the dignity and worth of every person, including those unjustly targeted by ICE raids. Tearing families apart isn’t justice. It’s cruelty.

We stand with immigrant families, undocumented people, and those fighting to defend their neighbors.

🚨 BREAKING: Ark. Parents Sue Over Ten Commandments in Schools 🚨

A new law forces public schools to display the Ten Commandments in EVERY classroom. Ark. families are fighting back for First Amendment rights!

We’re proud to join forces with the ACLU to challenge Arkansas’ blatant attempt to force religion on public schoolchildren.

No student should be forced to learn under a religious edict.

This law is unconstitutional — and we’re fighting to stop it.

"Humanism is a nontheistic worldview with ethical values informed by scientific knowledge and driven by a desire to meet the needs of people in the here and now."

Linda McMahon is a school voucher advocate who will pave the way to divert millions of tax dollars from public schools to private religious schools. Take 2 minutes to visit our Humanist Action HQ and urge your senators to vote NO on McMahon’s confirmation. americanhumanist.org/actionhq/?vv...

Rachel Laser speaking at an event about the importance of church-state separation, illustrated with a quote on the necessity of protecting individual beliefs and bodily autonomy.

“Church-state separation doesn’t just protect your right to believe as you choose, it also protects your freedom to live as your authentic self and have control over your body."

We all have a stake in protecting religious freedom.

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.
