Ishmael Jaffree stood up to school-sponsored prayer, took his case to the Supreme Court, and won—securing a key church-state victory in Wallace v. Jaffree.
After his passing, we made sure his story was told.

Federal agencies are drifting into Christian nationalism—from mass religious emails to taxpayer-funded prayer services.
That’s not “religious freedom.”
It’s government endorsement of religion. And it’s unconstitutional.

Today is Thomas Jefferson’s 283rd birthday. He originated 'separation of church & state' in his letter to the Danbury Baptists. This principle protects all faiths and none, but faces attacks from those calling it the 'separation of church and state myth.' It remains essential.

Trump's disastrous new executive order outlines his threat to seize control of federal elections before midterms.
For the sake of our secular democracy, we stand firmly against this order.

"While we’re confident in our chances of ultimately winning this case," writes FFRF Staff Attorney Sammi Lawrence, "this situation should serve as a reminder of the importance of electing school board candidates who believe in the First Amendment." ffrf.us/480nlKV

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

A government agency shouldn’t promote religious messages—period.
When officials invoke scripture, they exclude millions who don’t share those beliefs. Government must serve everyone equally, not endorse religion.
Patriotism doesn’t require piety.

What’s a real betrayal is denying people basic healthcare while pretending it’s about “taxpayer money,” which already can’t be used for abortion care under the Hyde Amendment.
PP provides cancer screenings, contraception, and essential services millions rely on.

This would be a massive betrayal. Under no circumstance can Planned Parenthood be allowed to get taxpayer money for their abortions and gender transition insanity. Period.

Invoking “divine providence” to justify tens of thousands of military strikes isn’t faith, it’s propaganda.
War isn’t miraculous, it’s deadly and human.
Government officials should answer to the Constitution, not claim God is endorsing their violence.
Acyn@Acyn
Hegseth: God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection. God is good.

One thing I’m very passionate about is the separation of Church and State.
Pete Hegseth has said our service members are fighting #Iran “in the name of Jesus Christ.” Religion is important to many Americans, but America was not founded on one religion.
With this Secretary of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security posting Bible verses, the Trump administration is trying to make America look like the exclusionary extremists we claim to be against.

FFRF asks Florida AG to follow the Constitution — or resign.
"The state/church watchdog is calling the memo a breathtaking abuse of office and warning that it represents a direct attack on both the rule of law and religious freedom."

John Kent Tarwater, a professor at a Christian college who built his career policing other people’s sexuality, is now accused of... TAKE A WILD GUESS.
At what point do we admit this pattern isn’t a coincidence?
