Atheists at the movies! #AATM
Yesterday, I invited a few of Twitter's godless luminaries to watch a movie together and live-tweet about it. Thursday, April 30 at 8pm central we'll be watching a classic piece of anti-atheist propaganda, God's Not Dead. Watch along on Netflix or... Image
...Amazon Prime. Just start the movie at 8pm central, and tune in to the #AATM hashtag, and watch with your heathen Tweeps. So far, myself, @C_Stroop, @LucienGreaves, @DebGod, and @LeighannLord subjecting themselves to this cruel and unusual act for your enjoyment. More are... Image
... invited and so are you. We're taking a page out of the Historians at the Movies (#HATM) playbook and hoping to build community. Join us. Invite your favorite Twitter atheists to join in too. All are welcome.

🚨We need to talk about this alarming pressure campaign that's happening right now. An attempt to muzzle discussion, criticism, and reporting on the authoritarian Christian Nationalism that is working against American democracy and a free press.
In Dec., journalist @HeidiReports wrote a piece exposing how the dark money network that financed the conservative takeover of the courts is also backing the Christian Nationalist push to dismantle public education, with Oklahoma as a test case.

Just days ago, Przybyla wrote a piece about Christian Nationalism in a second Trump administration which broke the internet. The reporting is accurate and terrifying. It shows that American democracy is unlikely to survive a second Trump term.

But now...

Despite Wheerler's unearned arrogance, @HeidiReports is absolutely correct. Rights given by a god can be taken away by men claiming to speak for that god. That's exactly the fight we're in now. That's what the Alabama Supreme Court just did with IVF. That's Christian Nationalism.
Again, I tackle this all in The Founding Myth, including the inevitable rejoinder of misquoting the Declaration of Independence, usually as "endowed by Our Creator," including a look the natural law philosophy the Declaration relies on.
Here's a bit.

Oh, it's so much worse than y'all think.

Hawley works at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian Nationalist legal outfit behind so many of the cases that are dragging this country back to a time when conservative, white Christian men ruled everything.

But there's more...
ADF, with Hawley actually arguing the case, is behind the mifepristone case being litigated before Judge Kacsmaryk in Texas (Kacsmaryk worked for one of ADF's brother orgs in the Christian Nationalist space.)

But there's still more...
Hawley's husband, Josh (he of fist pump and fleet feet), taught ADF's fellows, cashing $$ in nicely.

But Josh wasn't the only teacher.

Amy Coney Barrett taught ADF fellows up until 2016 (and her recusal didn't even come up).

Thrilled to see my friend and colleague, @AmandaTylerBJC of @BJContheHill testifying about the threat White Christian Nationalism poses to a pluralist democracy. Speaking truth to power.
Read more about the role the Christian Nationalism played in the January 6th insurrection here:
bjconline.org/jan6report/
Rep. Raskin notes that the 900+ prosecutions against insurrectionists and that the threats have not subsided.

White Supremacy is the most lethally dangerous terrorist threat our nation faces," says @RepRaskin and notes the role Christian Nationalism plays.

This morning, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Moore v. Harper, a case that could effectively end the American experiment with democracy.

Wait, what?

Yup.

Let's take a quick look:
Ostensibly, the case centers on the Independent State Legislature theory or doctrine, which is neither, but actually a nightmare born on the fringe of conservative legal thought that would help that fringe seize and retain power.
If wrongly decided, this newly forged weapon could allow (or at least justify) state legislatures to overturn elections.

Here's how @imillhiser describes it over at @voxdotcom

And let's just dispense with the idea that this is a case about, as we've seen lately, "L.G.B.T.Q. rights versus religious freedom."

It's about discrimination. ADF has been desperately seeking any means to legally discriminate against LGBTQ people. Religion. Speech. Whatever.
This case is about discrimination.

ADF is up.
