One More Round in Tennessee on Science and Religion
Yet again, conservative Christian legislators find a way to involve themselves in issues they are unfit to address.
Thanks to legislators like Tennessee state Rep. Bill Dunn, who sees global warming and evolution as “controversial,” thousands of students will be ill-equipped with the scientific knowledge necessary to pursue degrees in biology and chemistry without a grounding in evolutionary theory. Last time I checked, students learned about science in school and religion in church. Let’s keep it that way.

The American Humanist Association
The American Humanist Association (AHA) works to protect the rights of Humanists, atheists, and other nontheistic Americans. The AHA advances the ethical and life-affirming worldview of Humanism, which—without beliefs in gods or other supernatural forces—encourages individuals to live informed and meaningful lives that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
