Seattle Atheists

Mark Lilla, Professor of Humanities at Columbia University, will speak on on the separation of church and state as part of the Luce Lectures in Religion and Human Security. Lilla says that “the revival of a radical political theology in Islam offers an opportunity to reconsider the history of church-state relations in the West and to think harder about the political challenges that religion presents today.”

WHEN AND WHERE: Tues., Jan. 12, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. The talk will be held in Kane 210 on the University of Washington campus. This event is free and open to the public.

Members of Seattle Atheists and Tacoma Atheists gathered together on Saturday to place the new holiday sign on the capitol grounds in Olympia. About 15 or so atheists from Seattle, Tacoma, Lacey and Olympia were there to take pictures and document the moment. It was quiet and festive, and a Fox cameraman showed up to take some footage.

The Secular Coalition for America lobbies for secular policies in Washington, D.C. Secular Coalition Executive Director Sean Faircloth discusses how the values of our nation’s founders directly connect to the values of the secular movement and how theocratically-based injustices in American law are not a historical artifact — but rather a stark current reality that we all have a moral obligation to address.
