LINK Humanism on the Hill—Jared Huffman and the Congressional Freethought Caucus - TheHumanist.com
The importance of the Freethought Caucus to the atheist and humanist community cannot be overstated. As Speckhardt said, “The very existence of this Congressional caucus for freethinkers and humanists is a marker of how far the movement for secular and nontheist equality has come. This significant step is also a new beginning for our country as both religious and non-religious leaders work to better the nation.” It is my hope that the caucus will normalize the participation of atheists and humanists in US politics by helping to end discrimination against nontheist candidates and elected officials, allow candidates and elected officials to be authentic about their religious beliefs, and encourage atheists, agnostics, and humanists to run for political office.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I don't consider myself 'athiest' because I will not spend my valuable time, argueing about some ficticious dude coming back from the dead- or any other fairy tale, in the book of lies. We are on this rock; no one knows how any of this was made- or why. Nature has never sent any messengers to tell us either.

Anything which publicizes and promotes Humanists, atheists, agnostics as intelligent, patriotic and well-intentioned people is fine with me! We need more of these organizations and we need to be vigilant....because you-know-who will try to suppress them!
