Organization: Secular Coalition for America
Organization Description: The Secular Coalition for America advocates for religious freedom, as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and works to defend the equal rights of nonreligious Americans. Representing 20 national secular organizations, hundreds of local secular communities, and working with our allies in the faith community, we combine the power of grassroots activism with professional lobbying to make an impact on the laws and policies that govern separation of religion and government — or the improper encroachment of either on the other.
By Steven Emmert
In a pivotal moment for our nation, we find ourselves facing the growing influence of Christian nationalism in American politics. Yesterday’s election has spotlighted the increasing threats to religious freedom, equality, and the separation of church and state—values that are foundational to our democracy. Now more than ever, we need to stand together to ensure that America remains a nation where everyone, regardless of their beliefs or non-belief, has the same rights and freedoms.
The Secular Coalition for America has always been committed to protecting the constitutional principle that keeps government and religion separate. But as we see the power of Christian nationalism gaining momentum, our work becomes more urgent. The efforts to impose a narrow religious agenda on our government threaten the rights of all Americans to live free from religious coercion.
Every donation, no matter the size, strengthens our efforts to protect the freedom of all Americans to live according to their own beliefs. A gift today will help ensure that we can continue:
- Lobbying Congress and state officials to uphold church-state separation,
- Providing resources and education to secular Americans and allies,
- Mobilizing advocates across the country to protect secular rights, and
- Building a stronger, more resilient secular community.
But to do this, we need your help. Your support is critical to bolstering our efforts at every level. You will be empowering the Secular Coalition for America to fight harder, stand taller, and push back against this growing tide of religious extremism.
