Freedom From Religion?

Written by Gary Bauer | February 09, 2023
On February 2, 2023 a revamped National Prayer Breakfast took place in Washington, D.C., bringing together members of Congress for fellowship and prayer.

That sounds like something most people would see as positive, but not the Freedom From Religion Foundation. FFRF is a radical-left anti-Christian organization founded by militant atheists. Promoting a distorted interpretation of our Constitution that ignores the First Amendment's guarantee of the free exercise of religion, FFRF seeks to drive out of the public square any expression of religious faith, particularly Christianity. FFRF regularly intimidates local communities, including school boards, by threatening expensive lawsuits if they don't cave into FFRF's demands limiting religious expression.

Recently, FFRF went after the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in New York, forcing them to hide from view a painting featuring Jesus with his arms outstretched over a lifeboat filled with sailors lost at sea. Apparently, this was dangerous for students to see.

FFRF is just one of a large number of well-funded intolerant atheist groups that want to erase any evidence of Christianity's role in the founding of America. When they aren't at war with Christians, they are lobbying for abortion on demand, and the mutilation of children through radical gender surgery and dangerous chemicals. We will continue to expose their corrupt agenda.
