Fox News found one Christian mom who likes Texas forcing the Ten Commandments into public school classrooms. Apparently that’s the new constitutional test.

Despite persistent stereotypes, nonbelievers overwhelmingly live ethical, law-abiding lives. This data underscores that morality doesn’t come from religion—it comes from empathy, reason, and our shared humanity.

Pope Francis was hailed as a reformer — but what did he actually change? ✅ Softer tone ❌ Women treated equally ❌ LGBTQ+ inclusion ❌ Justice for abuse victims ❌ Real accountability Beneath the friendlier PR was the same old, regressive Church.

I guess he finds "holding the powerful accountable as we hold ourselves to the core principles of honesty, integrity, independence, accuracy, contextual truth, transparency, respect and fairness for the people we serve and the people we cover" repulsive. That checks out. www.npr.org/ethics

FFRF stands proudly on the side of science 𝒂𝒏𝒅 human rights. Atheism doesn’t justify bigotry and defending secularism means standing up for all marginalized communities.

Imagine being a sitting legislator and using your power to push a fake diagnosis as a real mental illness—just to own the libs. Meanwhile, actual mental health care remains underfunded and inaccessible.

Oh wow, yet another “moral” religious leader who built political power by attacking others—only to be accused of horrific crimes himself. This isn’t just hypocrisy, it’s a pattern. The real threat to children isn’t trans people—it’s predators hiding behind pulpits.

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of commentators who believe that elected Democrats' response to Trump's blitz of lawlessness has been woefully insufficient. With some exceptions, this looks like total surrender. Embarrassing and alarming.

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

So glad to see solid pushback to FFRF's woeful decision to publish Coyne's screed. It feels like a lot of atheist orgs were on the fence for years, seeing which way the wind blew, & are now realising that thefuture relies on rejecting transphobia. Kudos to Aaron & Hemant for enabling this change.

I'm an unabashed atheist. I believe that religion does more harm than good and anything good derived from religion really comes from humanism. But, I also firmly believe that if more Christians were like James Talarico, we would have a much better world.
