Get Informed and Stay Informed
An important resource for those concerned about the continuing erosion of the wall of Church/State separation. This assault against religious liberty, including the right to hold no religious belief is being waged in many arenas and fronts.

I know that many here are familiar with this group; for those who aren't, Americans United for Separation of Church and State is fighting these assaults on our freedoms, and its website and publications are excellent resources for keeping abreast of the current struggles.

________________________________________________

Americans United’s current executive director, the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, is a United Church of Christ minister as well as an attorney long active on behalf of civil liberties. Through the years, many members of the clergy have been involved in the work of Americans United. However, Americans United is officially a non-sectarian and non-partisan organization. Americans United is happy to work with Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Humanists and those who profess other religious beliefs or no belief. We welcome Democrats, Republicans, Independents and those of other political affiliations who share our belief in religious liberty.

Americans United celebrates the rich religious and philosophical diversity of the United States and seeks a nation where all people may peacefully pursue the truth as their consciences dictate.

2. You're welcome, Curmudgeoness . These are, indeed, serious issues.
AU has been around a long time; they are one of the major watchdogs for Church/State separation. :patriot:
