The Atheistic Radicalism of America's Founding and Refounding

On June 30, 2026, at 7:00 PM United Kingdom Time/2:00 PM Eastern Time/1:00 PM Central Time/Noon Mountain Daylight Time/11:00 AM Pacific Time the Freethinker magazine will feature philosopher Matthew Stewart discussing the (perhaps surprisingly) radical, atheistic ideas that inspired the founding of the American Republic—and its re-founding during and after the Civil War. From Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson to Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, this is an essential story, one that has long been ignored and suppressed.

With these founding ideals currently under assault from authoritarians and Christian nationalists at the highest levels, it is vital to remember and champion them. Find out more about the webinar, including details on how to register at the below link:
