Church-state separation guarantees a secular government. Why is this important? To ensure everyone has equal access to hospitals, medical care, public schools—full civil rights regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof. It's a shield, not a sword.
The First Amendment is admirably clear: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . .” And yet, Congress made a law establishing a national day of prayer. This occurred back in 1952, during a wave of Christian Nationalism... au.org/the-latest/art…
Leland Murphy, a member of AU's Youth Organizing Fellowship, reflects on the religious diversity and the involvement of young people at the Summit for Religious Freedom (SRF) and in the movement to protect church-state separation. au.org/the-latest/art…
LIVE FROM SRF is a new limited series from @ur_pod recorded at the 2024 Summit for Religious Freedom in Washington, D.C., April 13-16. This week's podcast features an icon among progressives and the secular movement. @RepRaskin buzzsprout.com/2149835/149656…
Lawmakers have already introduced a record number of anti-LGBTQ bills, but hardly any have passed. Is the anti-LGBTQ+ movement losing momentum? "It’s still too early to tell whether this year is a mere pause or a real turn in strategy." @erininthemorning washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04…
Protect public schools. Separate church and state. @rachelklaser
We need a national recommitment to separate church and state. @rachelklaser
💥“No one should be denied emergency medical care because of someone else’s beliefs.” @rachelklaser on the steps of #SCOTUS during #emtala arguments.
"By enlisting ADF, Laser adds, state officials are “showing their cards”—seeking to undermine what is a foundational part of our democracy, church-state separation.” motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
🔥🔥🔥"Abortion bans impose one narrow religious beliefs on everyone."🔥🔥🔥 ~@rachelklaser repping @americansunited at the SCOTUS rally today.
Couldn't make it to DC for #srf2024 ? We got you covered. Live From SRF, interviews with speakers and panelists, dropping now, starting with @americansunited president and CEO @rachelklaser Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
The Supreme Court building even says “Justice The Guardian of Liberty.” What about the religious and reproductive liberty of pregnant people, #SCOTUS?
@americansunited is at the US Supreme Court today. I’ll be speaking at the rally about why pregnant people seeking emergency medical care must receive it—regardless of politicians or providers’ religious beliefs. Separate church and state!
AU President & CEO @rachelklaser issued the following statement in advance of oral arguments before #SCOTUS re: the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act requirements that hospitals provide abortion care to pregnant patients during medical emergencies: au.org/the-latest/pre…
For nearly 40 years, federal law has protected pregnant patients from being turned away at hospitals in emergencies. Now, the Supreme Court is considering denying pregnant people this protection. Join us tomorrow & make your voice heard! mobilize.us/au/event/61753…
"Robert P. Jones, founder of the @PRRI, argues White Christians have become more radical in their policy goals and more deeply embedded in the Republican Party because of their alarm at how quickly America is becoming more racially diverse and secular." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
#Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new bill into law yesterday that allows school districts to implement volunteer chaplain programs. Is this a violation of church-state separation? Yep And our friends at @satanic_temple_ are getting ready. pnj.com/story/news/edu…

As the leader of the only secular group dedicated solely to separating religion and government, I can think of no better way to highlight the threat to America's promise of true religious freedom than to flag this clip, knowing that this was America's president & could be again.
6. The myth that Christians are under attack (a word used multiple times in this short clip)---so that the violence perpetrated by Christian Nationalists is justified.
5. The idea that the government can and should force everyone to abide by one narrow set of a religious beliefs: "We must make America pray again."
4. The idea that we (as a country) answer to God over our Constitution: "In the end, we don't answer to bureacrats in Washington, we answer to God in Heaven."
3. A former USA President and candidate for President marketing a Bible that combines the Bible with the US Constitution and the Pledge of Allegiance.
2. The idea that America's greatness depends on it being a Christian country: "Religion and Christianty are the biggest things missing from this country and I truly believe that we need to bring them back and we need to bring them back fast."
1. The myth that America is a Christian ("Judeo-Christian") country: "Our founding fathers did a great thing when they built America on Judeo-Christian values. Now that foundation is under attack, perhaps as never before. We must make America pray again."
Trump's mini-sermon here is a masterclass in Christian Nationalism- a political ideology and cultural structure that seeks to merge Christian and American identities. 🧵
Holy Week is when Christians remember that the only time Jesus ever grabbed a whip & went after people, it was to drive money-hungry folks like this out of the temple.
Alliance Defending Freedom arguing that there is a conscience right to refuse to remove placental tissue even when it's not "live." That could give doctors a "conscience" right to refuse to attend to women whose health and life are in jeopardy after even miscarriages. #SCOTUS
Conservative groups like Heritage are openly pressing Donald Trump to impose a nationwide abortion ban on Day One by invoking the Comstock Act. That would end legal abortion throughout the country, including blue states. Thomas and Alito are evidently ready to uphold such a move.
Heads up: This is the strategy. They don't need to win Congress. They just need to win the presidency and then the new DOJ can prioritize the enforcement of the Comstock Act (a law that was enacted in 1873 and has been unenforced, tho still on the books, for much of our lives).
Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are clearly eager to revive the Comstock Act as a nationwide ban on medication abortion—and maybe procedural abortion, too. That would subject abortion providers in all 50 states to prosecution and imprisonment. No congressional action needed.
