LINK New Report Warns of Christian Nationalism Spreading to States Across the Country | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

American Atheists has just released its third annual “State of the Secular States” report on how every state (and Puerto Rico and D.C.) are affected by laws concerning “separation of religion and government and religious equality.” With most states focused on COVID, that means paying special attention to bills dealing with religious exemptions and non-discrimination laws. 2021 also means paying attention to extreme legislation designed specifically to get in front of the Supreme Court’s conservative super-majority.

The full report functions as a benevolent cheat sheet, giving you details about which states let child welfare groups discriminate for religious reasons, require religious displays (like “In God We Trust&rdquo😉 in public buildings, permit “faith healing” as an excuse when a child is killed, etc.

Seems they are a little late to the party. This has been common knowledge since obama

Ignorance always spreads faster than intelligence. Educating people takes longer. Scaring people just takes an idea. Controlling the intelligent is difficult. Controlling the ignorant is easy.
