Americans United for Separation of Church and State on Strict Scrutiny

Strix Courtney is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. It's everywhere right now, the celebration of America's 250th anniversary, and we're in the thick of it this month. Christian nationalists are using this milestone not to unite, but to divide. They're pushing the lie that America was founded to be a Christian nation, where just one religious movement gets to decide who fully belongs, instead of the real truth that America was founded as a democracy committed to liberty and justice for all. The idea that America was founded as a Christian nation is propaganda. It's not patriotism. It's a dangerous lie meant to justify censorship, discrimination, attacks on public schools, assaults on LGBTQ plus rights, restrictions on reproductive freedom, and government favoritism toward one extremist version of Christianity. Americans United for Separation of Church and State is here to fight back against this dangerous and egregious misinterpretation of our founding documents. AU fights daily for everyone's ability to live as themselves and believe as they choose, so long as they don't harm others. It's a novel idea in the day and age when almost every day we see Christian nationalism weaponizing a faith to attack individual freedoms across the country. So do something patriotic this summer, as you're dodging the propaganda flying at you from all angles. Become a member of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
