Activism is important. American Atheists encourages everyone to become an activist and do something about those who would destroy the wall of separation between church and state and do whatever they can to impose theocracy upon all of us (religious and non-religious). Activism can be rewarding and you are serving to uphold the Constitution and the idea of enlightenment set forth by our Founding Fathers.

Instead of begging an imaginary being for strength in a crisis, I reach out to others or rely upon myself. During times of crisis I do not plead, “God please help me!” or “God give me the strength!” I simply tell myself that I can do it or that I can make it through it. Often I reflect on the fact that I’ve been in worse situations and fared just fine. I can also turn to my family and friends for help and advice. And in extreme cases I rely on the assistance of trained professionals, such as firemen, police officers, medical doctors, etc. Read more about Where Do Atheists Turn For Strength In a Crisis?→

It is important that we fight the secularization of the cross, bible, etc. When we allow these things to become secular then we are complicit in the theocratization (if it wasn’t a word before, it is now!) of the United States.
