When Trump took office in January 2017, I weighed 450 pounds. His first administration inspired me to not only fight harder for our civil rights, but to face my personal demons as well and lose more than 270 pounds. Use your righteous anger to improve yourself and the world.

Fox News found one Christian mom who likes Texas forcing the Ten Commandments into public school classrooms. Apparently that’s the new constitutional test.

I’ve heard of bears, otters and twinks, but I'm going to need one of my gay friends to explain what a “bold lion” is.
Pastor Martin Sedra fumes that "America has created this gay version of Jesus Christ": "Jesus was not effeminate. Jesus was a bold lion. I always tell people Jesus was not a soft guy. He had six packs. He was the most ripped guy you'll ever meet."

Being a lawyer is an important part of my life, but I’d risk it in a heartbeat to protect even one child from a predator. This situation is a reminder that doing the right thing doesn’t always bring rewards — sometimes it brings consequences. You still do it anyway.
An alleged predator priest was working at a Catholic school in New Orleans. A lawyer warned the principal... only to get fined $400,000 for violating a confidentiality agreement. Turns out Church officials shared even MORE confidential details than he did. friendlyatheist.com/p/the-ca…

If God turns out to be real, I wasn’t an atheist—I was just an unborn Christian.
MAGA cultist Lance Wallnau defends the Trump as Jesus post on the grounds that Trump is still "a baby Christian." The Religious Right has been giving Trump a pass for being a "baby Christian" for a decade now.

No gods. No masters. No oppression. On #InternationalWomensDay, we stand for women's rights, bodily autonomy, and a world free from religious control. Equality requires secularism.

It's the official position of the State of Tennessee that your lame boss's car is "2FST4U."

“I feel so angry now at the administration because I traumatized my kids,” she said. “I wish I would’ve never joined the federal government.” Vought got his wish, and now we will all suffer for it. usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

“Christian nationalists are no longer hiding their agenda — they’re openly working to rewrite American democracy into a religious state,” adds FFRF Legal Counsel @Chris_line. “...we must take a stand before these unconstitutional efforts gain more ground.” wildhunt.org/2025/02/north-d…

Rep. Yassamin Ansari is agnostic and a member of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, co-chaired by Rep. Jamie Raskin (standing behind her). The CFC is doing important work pushing back against the Christian Nationalism of this Trump administration. friendlyatheist.com/p/one-ne…
Ansari: As the proud daughter of the Iranian immigrants who fled their country during the revolution, I grew up learning how we can never take democracy for granted. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that in the United States of America in the year 2025, we would be witnessing an unelected billionaire, Elon Musk, oligarchs, so many unelected individuals taking complete control of our federal government, taking illegal, unconstitutional actions, and witnessing the demise of our democracy

Well if I can't turn it into a brothel, I'm not buying.
If anyone has cash lying around, a supposed "replica" of Noah’s Ark—no, not the one in Kentucky—is about to be sold to the highest bidder. But the builder has a caveat: "If they want to turn it into a brothel, I’m not selling." friendlyatheist.com/p/a-dutc…

Assuming that we don't remain an outlier forever, I wonder if we will give up religion or our wealth. I am afraid that I know the answer.
The countries that have the lowest GDP have the highest level of religiosity. Places like Senegal, Ethiopia, and Bolivia. More prosperous countries like Norway, Denmark, and Switzerland are less religious. The huge outlier? The United States. Rich and religious.

Todd White is WAY too excited about creating a Christian theocracy: "So good...so good...yeah...oh my gosh that is so good."
Christian nationalist Lance Wallnau says that with Trump in office, "the government and the church" can begin "moving together to build the ekklesia" to take control of "the government mountain" globally. peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

There's a 100% chance that Rep. Schriver is a repressed/closeted gay. This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme.
Make gay marriage illegal again. This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme.

Lots of Christians already treat atheists the same way they do racists. They publicly denounce them because they're "supposed to" but deep down they secretly agree.
Stephen Wolfe, author of "The Case For Christian Nationalism," says Christians should treat atheists the same way they do racists. They should use their "social power" to force atheists out of their jobs and have their reputations forever tarnished.

We can’t allow abortions even if they would save mothers from suffering and death. We can’t allow those who are suffering to choose to end their lives. We can, however, kill people convicted of crimes no matter how dubious the circumstances.
UK lawmakers have taken the first big step in legalizing assisted dying. The proposed bill would let some terminally ill people end life on their own terms. The alternative is forced suffering. friendlyatheist.com/p/uk-pol…
