  • Right-wing secular group Atheists for Liberty is tootin’ its own horn for participating in CPAC over the weekend where a straw poll revealed attendees rank conspiracy theories higher than abortion on their list of important issues— as if somehow AFL’s influence at the convention was to thank for what is still really concerning news to the rest of us.

    2021 @CPAC straw poll results of most important issues: "dignity/pro-life' is in last place at only 16%! Also note that respondents picked three issues. The GOP is being less religious. #freedom #liberty #secular #atheism #atheists #atheist

  • Canadian hospital drama Nurses had an episode pulled by television networks for amplifying an anti-Semitic sentiment. The offending episode centers around an Orthodox Jewish man who refuses a bone graft from an Arab woman out of prejudice.

    B’nai Brith Canada explains why the episode is not only harmful, it’s demonstrably false.

    In actuality, when a Jew receives a graft or organ donation from the dead, under Jewish law, the fact that the donor may be a non-Jew, a woman, an Arab, or even a fellow Jew is irrelevant. According to traditional Jewish law, saving a life takes precedence over all other considerations and religious commandments.

  • A misogynist Baptist pastor in Missouri had the gall to give an entire sermon shaming women for gaining weight in marriage, suggesting men put a “divorce weight” on their wives.

  • Here’s one proven way to motivate a Christian adoption agency to place children in the homes of loving LGBTQ parents: Threaten to revoke their tax funding.

  • Chip in if you can help!

    BBN team Freethinkers Association of Central Texas just received a donation of 250 pads, liners, tampons and masks for their Winter Relief Distribution for Unhoused People! (Tossing in a few bucks at buff.ly/2NVhf8c helps them buy more essentials for unsheltered people.)

  • Not that we’re surprised, but Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville made his disregard for religious diversity and a secular education system very apparent in his first Senate floor speech.

  • Finally, a Texas pastor issued an apology after his daughter-in-law Ashley Marie Ayres went full-on white privilege in this “I’m not racist, but…” video.

    Pastor’s Christian White daughter-in-law Ashley Marie Ayres is tired of Black History Month, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. Could this be the way the whole 1st family talks about their black staff and worship leader over there at Cross Mountain Church in San Antonio TX?
