It is more important now more than ever for the atheist community to come out. Stand up and be heard. The price of silence is far too steep.
"Emboldened by the U.S. Supreme Court, today’s religious right is pressing in courts nationwide for what amounts to a sweeping right to discriminate." Excellent analysis from

If the goal is to unify this country then this is not the way to do it. Religion will only serve to increase that divide and further erode the wall of separation between church and state.

Claiming land that mostly belongs to natives. What could go wrong?
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, who was reelected yesterday, recently dedicated "every square inch" of the state to Jesus: "[With] the authority that I have as governor, and the spiritual authority and the physical authority that you give me, I claim Oklahoma for you."

I’m guessing separation of church and state didn’t come up during this presentation.
Today, Sheriff Tommie Johnson III was honored to be a guest instructor for a Government Class at Oklahoma Christian University. Sheriff Johnson told the students, God led him on the path to be sheriff and surrounded him with good people to help him do the job
