The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American

The Freethought Society is pleased to host author and attorney Andrew L. Seidel on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 3:00 PM (EDT)/Noon (PDT) for an online Zoom presentation. See below Zoom logon details. Seidel’s speech, “The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American,” is based on his book by the same name.

Seidel is the Director of Strategic Response at the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). When not fighting for the First Amendment with FFRF, Andrew writes for Slate, ThinkProgress, Religion News Service, Rewire News and many other publications.

Renowned constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky described The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American as “a beautifully written book” that “explodes a frequently expressed myth: that the United States was created as a Christian nation.”

Seidel’s book illustrates that not only is the United States not a Christian nation, but Judeo-Christian principles are fundamentally opposed to the values on which America was founded. Religion, law, and history will collide in this presentation. Seidel will discuss his book and field questions.

We will start on time so please join us at 11:45 AM (PDT)/2:45 PM (EDT) for a Pre-Event Social. Chat opportunities with like-minded individuals and music will be provided during that 15 minute session. Here are the logon details:
