Democracy Not Theocracy: Humanist Resistance to Christian Nationalism (New Jersey Humanist Network)

Hosted by New Jersey Humanist Network

We are facing the most aggressive assault on secular values in a generation — defunding public schools, pushing religion into government, and attacking empathy itself as a weakness and a sin. But the picture isn’t all bleak. Efforts to force the Bible and Ten Commandments into public school classrooms are being defeated in court. The AHA won major federal cases in Florida and Arkansas. The Congressional Freethought Caucus we helped start is now larger than the Freedom Caucus. And across the country, humanists are showing what is possible when we show up for our communities. Fish will break down the threats the AHA’s legal and policy teams are tracking right now, where the most serious attacks on the First Amendment are coming from, and what humanists can do to fight back and win — in the courts, in Congress, in the culture, and in our communities.
