John,
I’ve got some sobering news.
The latest FEC filings show that Trump-backed, Christian Nationalist candidates have shattered fundraising records.
Even more ominous, President Trump’s political operation is flush with cash, with more than $122 million on hand across his political committees. That’s more money than both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee combined.
That’s a mammoth amount of money Trump will use to install Christian Nationalist candidates who believe their God has anointed him to take back our country from “crack-smoking, demon-possessed leftists”.
But here’s the thing: a majority of Americans reject Trump and the values espoused by his core base of Christian Nationalists.
Our job this year is crystal clear: we must advance atheist and humanist candidates who will counter Trump-backed, Christian Nationalists and mobilize and inspire the majority of Americans who believe in a safer, saner, more secular America.
With only 72 hours until our February fundraising deadline, I need your most generous support to help fund the Center for Freethought Equality’s midterm election-year efforts - and defend our nation against a rising Christian Nationalist tide. Please contribute whatever you can: $35, $50, or any amount you can afford!

The good news? While Christian Nationalists have been energized ever since Trump lost the 2020 election, the number of Americans who support a more secular, safe, and sane America continues to grow.
A majority of Americans support a strong separation of church and state. 69% believe the U.S. should never declare an official religion. And the number of Americans who consider themselves atheist, agnostic, or of no particular faith is growing.
Your gift will immediately go to turn these majorities into real political power. Help expand our work to recruit, support, and elect humanists and atheists who believe science, reason, and compassion should be used to shape public policy.
