DESCRIPTION:Navigating the Legal Landscape:\nCommon Questions for Atheist Activists\nJuly 25\, 8:00 pm ET \nJoin us for an informative webinar where we tackle some of the most common legal issues atheists face and explore whether they are actionable in the current legal climate. Our presentation will provide clarity on issues such as the separation of church and state\, religious displays on public property\, and challenges to religious privilege in government settings. We’ll discuss the viability of these actions in today’s judicial environment\, including commentary on recent and relevant Supreme Court decisions. \nJoin us for an informative webinar where we tackle some of the most common legal issues atheists face and explore whether they are actionable in the current legal climate.
