Many of us gave thanks this week, and in that spirit of gratitude, I wanted to thank you for being here. Whether you’re a member of American Atheists, a volunteer, or an occasional reader of our emails, I want you to know that our work is only possible because of supporters like you.
American Atheists is, comparably, a pretty small 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. While our budget is smaller than other groups’, we have six decades of proof that we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
This combination of experience and agility will serve us well in the coming years. There is no doubt Christian nationalists in power will want to fundamentally remake America. From reproductive rights to public education, and from scripture-informed hatred of LGBTQ people to biblical “alternatives” to public health, they will try to undermine almost every aspect of our lives.
But no matter how often they repeat their lies, the fact remains that the United States is a secular nation. And American Atheists will continue fighting to keep it that way.
From victories in the courts and state legislatures to the hundreds of affiliate groups we’ve helped grow across the country, our achievements are a testament to the passion of our volunteers, the tireless work of our staff, and the generous contributions of our members.
We really do rely on you, and it’s my sincerest hope you feel this relationship is a reciprocal one. Every day, our team is working to protect atheists and other nonreligious Americans, like you, from the erosion of church-state separation. We are building communities that will welcome you, and we are trying to promote understanding at every level of government and society so that you and your loved ones can participate fully, equally, and without fear.
We’re so grateful for your continued support. This giving season, I hope you’ll consider including our team in your end-of-year charitable contributions. Giving Tuesday is just days away, and a gift of $25, $50, or $100 will help us reach our goal. Every dollar we receive is not only tax-deductible for you but will go directly towards our work defending and advancing your rights in all 50 states.
With sincere thanks,
Nick Fish
President
