Meet an FFRF member - we will be at the OddMall "Emporium of the Wierd" on May 6 and 7th.
Non-believers frequently feel a bit "odd" here in the U.S. since a majority of Americans still profess to adhere to some sort of religious creed.
We know we will fit right in at this event!
So if you would like to learn more about our organization, discuss religion, politics in the U.S. or just about anything else, stop by. We love to meet the public.
The OddMall - where you will find the most interesting and unusual merchandise in the world to say nothing of the people!

We had an excellent tabling at Cleveland's Ingenuity fest in September 2016, tons of people stopped by to find out what we are doing to keep the State/Church wall of separation strong. We received very positive feedback and lots of interaction!
Thanks to the visitors who stopped by to say "hello" at our table, see you next year!

Click here to preview the ad.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which debuted its TV ad featuring Ron ("not afraid of burning in hell") Reagan last year on "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," is running the commercial again this week as a farewell to departing "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart and his irreverent wit.
The ad will play on Stewart's next to last show Wednesday. "Honestly, we couldn't afford the rate being asked for ads running on the last show," admitted FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor, "but we're pleased to run the ad live one more time nationally before Jon retires." In the 30-second ad, Ron Reagan identifies himself as "an unabashed atheist" who is "alarmed by the intrusion of religion into our secular government. That's why I'm asking you to support the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the nation's largest and most effective association of atheists and agnostics, working to keep state and church separate, just like our Founding Fathers intended. Please support the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Ron Reagan, lifelong atheist, not afraid of burning in hell." Comedy Central has promised to pull out the stops on all its shows this week. The ad will run during the Aug. 5 show, which starts at 11 p.m. Eastern. FFRF's TV spot has been refused by national CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX. |
