What we're about

Maryland Separation Church and State brings citizens of the city and state together to defend and support the constitutional barriers between our secular government on the one hand, and religion on the other.

Doing so prevents religion or any particular religion from gaining an unfair advantage over politics and the law, while minimizing government interference in religious affairs.

This work is necessary because various religious elements are constantly striving to break down these barriers in efforts to gain undue power over citizens whose opinions may differ from theirs.

We are a local chapter of the national organization 'Americans United for Separation of Church and State'.

Come help us protect our rights and the wall of separation!

Upcoming events (4+)

Frederick Pride Booth

Carroll Creek Linear Park

Americans United for Separation of Church and State believes strong separation of Church and State is essential to preserving the rights of all people. Without it, all people will be subjected to discrimination and serious mistreatment.

We need volunteers at this event to educate people by talking to visitors at our booth, hand out brochures, or help with set-up (9:30 am) and take down (5:30 pm).

If you cannot attend the entire event (10 am - 6 pm), let us know when you can come -- or just come. You can learn about us and enjoy Pride.

We will be in booth # TBD
