@atheists.orgGreat day to be an atheist
@atheists.org"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."
@atheists.orgAbsolutely not.

@texasobserver.orgReposted by @atheists.orgFeatured story: What changed? How did Christianity become the political weapon we see today? A new book from historian Joseph L. Locke investigates how "militant" Christian nationalism became the state religion.
@atheists.orgWe have been proud to be on the front lines of the fight to end child marriage alongside our partners at Unchained At Last — and our state advocates have lobbied in California for the past three years to get this bill passed. It's time to finish the job.
@atheists.orgIn the Oval Office, Trump's Religious Liberty Commission chair, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, called the separation of church & state the "biggest lie that's been told in America." After reading their report, we beg to differ. Join us Monday for a town hall to break it down. atheists.org/RLC-townhall
@atheists.orgBig if true!
@atheists.orgAbsolutely agree. Unlike the White Christian Nationalist movement and its acolytes, we actually care about religious freedom, pluralism, and government neutrality. And we're proud to work with Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and Jews who share that commitment. Thank you, Professor McQuade!

@nickfish.meReposted by @atheists.orgWe're calling on @schumer.senate.gov to retract his fabricated statements, correct the record wherever they appear, and apologize. Our country — and our history — is under attack and he's enabling it. It's outrageous and we should be demanding better.
@nickfish.meReposted by @atheists.orgIn the wake of Donald Trump and his Christian Nationalist acolytes hijacking America 250 in an attempt to justify their exclusionary attacks on huge swaths of Americans, why is Chuck Schumer sharing fabricated quotes that sound like the sort of thing fake "historian" David Barton would make up?
@atheists.orgReposted by @atheists.orgWhy is Chuck Schumer fabricating quotes by the Founders? Why is he carrying water for the White Christian Nationalist movement's attempts to paint America as a Christian nation? We call on him to retract these fabricated statements, correct the record, and apologize. Sign the petition NOW!
@friendlyatheist.comReposted by @atheists.orgChuck Schumer has spent more than 20 years claiming the Founding Fathers called America "God's noble experiment."
There's no evidence any of them ever said that.
Why does he keep lying about it?
@nickfish.meReposted by @atheists.orgNEW from @friendlyatheist.com: "This isn’t some innocuous mistake. Schumer’s constant repetition of a fake phrase is inadvertently propping up Christian Nationalist mythology."

@nickfish.meReposted by @atheists.orgJonathan lays out Schumer's outrageous fabrications here — and adds new details. They edited his Fourth of July post to remove the claim that the founders (unspecified, and apparently all at once?) uttered this sentiment as they left "Constitution [sic] Hall." Yikes.
@jonathanlarsen.bsky.socialReposted by @atheists.orgEXCLUSIVE: On July 4, the same day Republicans peddled lies about God and American history… …so did Chuck Schumer. I even found a Facebook post they edited…without removing the key falsehood.
@atheists.orgAdam Keiper, executive editor at @thebulwark.com, found exactly one historical example of the phrase "God's noble experiment" being used: a book review from 1939. The only other times this phrase has *ever* been uttered? Statements from Chuck Schumer, starting in 2003 in Congress.
@atheists.orgIndependent journalist @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social found that Schumer's staff edited a Facebook post to remove an additional fabricated element: the claim that as the founders left "Constitution [sic] Hall," they called America God’s noble experiment. But the core lie remained and was repeated.
