Hi  John,
 
"The overriding command to every person, and every king, every state representative, every county commissioner—doesn’t matter what level—is to worship God and to love him." This is from Texas State House member Matt Schaefer[[link removed]] earlier this month. He continued, "All government is established by God, and if you’re not doing it his way, then you’re in disobedience...There’s only two courses: there’s obedience or rebellion. Those are really the only two options for any elected official."
 
Naturally, we reject this white Christian nationalist's theocratic vision for America. 
 
The Center for Freethought Equality has done groundbreaking work to make the humanist and atheist community more empowered in American politics -- the announcement by Congressman Jared Huffman (CA-2) that he is a humanist and agnostic, the formation of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, the expansion of the number of atheist and humanist elected officials from 5 to over 74 at the state and federal level since 2016, and the creation of the Association of Secular Elected Officials.

Schaefer only wants his type of Christians running our country - the foundational belief of white Christian nationalism. The good news is the rapidly growing humanist and atheist community has the potential to counter the influence of the white Christian nationalists who are far too powerful and dangerous -- as demonstrated in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol -- in our political culture. We are the constituency that can end their anti-democratic, bigoted, anti-science, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and homophobic crusade -- but we need your support to make that happen. 
 
Help us increase the political engagement of the atheist and humanist community both as a voting bloc and as elected officials -- with a generous donation today![[link removed]]
 
As the humanist and atheist community becomes more engaged in the political and electoral arenas -- including serving in public office -- our nation’s public policies will reflect the values of our community to prioritize social, economic, and environmental justice using evidence-based policy solutions. Building political power for the humanist and atheist community will establish a more equitable and sustainable future for America.
 
Thank you for your support to make America safer, saner, and more secular. 
 
Sincerely,

Ron Millar
Political & PAC Coordinator
