In the Oval Office, Trump's Religious Liberty Commission chair, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, called the separation of church & state the "biggest lie that's been told in America." After reading their report, we beg to differ. Join us Monday for a town hall to break it down. atheists.org/RLC-townhall

We already knew Donald Trump's Christian Nationalist speechwriters have never read the Constitution, so why would the Declaration be any different?

A disgusting erasure of millions of nonreligious Americans by the White Christian Nationalists who have hijacked our government.

And when we see our government — and our history — being hijacked by the White Christian Nationalist movement, you'd better believe we dissent.

There's nothing more American than the separation of religion from government. Happy Independence Day! 🎇🎆

Choosing to quote Leviticus for ANYTHING, let alone to support the principle of liberty, over the plain language of the Constitution or the writings of the founders, is deeply disturbing and a clear expression of the White Christian Nationalism taking over our government.

We're relieved at the outcome of today's birthright citizenship decision, but the fact that there were 4 votes to ignore the plain language of the Constitution is appalling. The White Christian Nationalist movement will keep coming for our rights and we have to act to stop them.

The only people seemingly trying to close churches are the corrupt, hypocritical leaders of the White Christian Nationalist movement. Alienating and grifting their members by covering up child abuse, excusing and encouraging masked thugs to rip families apart, and lining their own pockets.

While it might be more convenient for White Christian Nationalists like Pete Hegseth to pretend that atheists don't exist, simply repeating the lie doesn't make it true.

No matter how hard these extremists try, they will never succeed in writing us out of our history or silencing us. Atheist soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians are patriots committed to protecting our nation and our Constitution. It’s a shame we can’t say the same thing about Hegseth.

They're trying to turn our country into a White Christian ethno-state. Where if you are the "wrong" race or the "wrong" religion, you are a second class citizen. We won't let them.

"Who we are" is One Nation, Indivisible. Christian Nationalists are trying to destroy that. To divide us. To say who is — and isn't — American enough. This is a nation of Christians and atheists, Jews and Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus, Sikhs and Bahá'í. And Christian Nationalism is un-American.

The Trump Administration's Department of Education just released new "guidance" about prayer and religious expression in public schools. Our legal director's view? It's bad. It's ridiculous. It's absurd. And it's exactly what we should expect from the White Christian Nationalist movement.

240 years after Jefferson’s Virginia Statute was enacted, Christian Nationalists want you to think religious freedom is a privilege just for them. We're setting the record straight: It's always been for all of us. In honor of National Religious Freedom Day, support our work at atheists.org/donate

249 years ago, the world's first secular democratic republic was founded by freethinking skeptics, its Declaration drafted by a so-called "howling atheist." Today, we remember our roots, and we fight in the great American tradition against the establishment of religion and "tyranny over the mind."

Today's decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor is yet another assault on our nation's education system, part of the White Christian Nationalist Movement's decades-long project to destroy secular public schools.

Critics of the administration have had their visas denied or cancelled, been refused entry at our airports, and have even been detained for weeks on end. Sadly, we simply cannot guarantee the safety of our guests, especially those from the global south. This is the sad reality of America today.

No, you're not seeing double. We just filed YET ANOTHER Supreme Court brief in a second case that threatens our nation's secular public schools. With the Christian Nationalist movement hell-bent on destroying public education, it's up to all of us to save our schools. And we won't stop fighting.

If the Supreme Court gives even more special privileges to religious employers, millions of American workers — particularly those who work for charities, in social services, or in medicine — will pay the price. Here's what our legal director @gtblackwell.atheists.org had to say:

Donald Trump has issued an executive order attempting to shut down the Department of Education. This is just the latest lawless attempt to undermine secular, inclusive, public education by the White Christian Nationalist movement, ripped from the pages of their Project 2025 agenda.

Abortion access. Bodily autonomy. Freedom of thought. We will always stand up for the rights of all people to be free from religious coercion. And religious equality, church-state separation, and secular government are the best ways to protect those rights. #internationalwomensday

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.
