What do you think about the Freedom From Religion Foundation?

Asked by JLeslie (65433points) August 6th, 2015

I just saw a commercial with Ron Reagan about this organization, which I had never heard of before. My first reaction is—yuck. He said in the ad that they are atheists committed to the separation of church and state. I care deeply about the separation of church and state, but it really doesn’t sit well with me that there are only atheists in this organization. There are plenty of theists who understand that religion in government is a mess. Moreover, freedom from religion just rubs me the wrong way. I don’t want to be bombarded with religion either, but I also have no problem with being aware there are religious people around me. There is a happy medium, I know there is. I grew up in that medium, and it was a nice place.

Here is the website.

I am especially interested in what atheists think about the foundation. Please let us know if you are an atheist or theist in your answer.

Edit: Here is the wikipedia about the organization.
