We Believe…
Black Lives Matter… …and that people of all races are entitled to the same equal rights and opportunities. Yet the bible says God granted covenant and life-long priesthood to the Israelite Phinehas who impaled a mixed-race couple just for having sexual relations that would not keep God’s people pure (Numbers Chapter 25). Love is Love… […]
“Why Christians Do Not Own The Winter Holiday Season”
By: Tom Cara, Executive Director, FFRFMCC The month of December can be a perplexing time for ex-Christians Like many who were brought up in the Christian tradition, I grew up with Christmas. Awaiting Santa’s arrival as a child still holds treasured memories within me. But, imagine going through all those years enjoying the fun and […]
Our Deep-Rooted Suspicion of Each Other — Do We Have Christianity to Blame for This?
FFRFMCC Commentary We recently had another National Day of Reason come and go, and I’ve spent the past several days that followed contemplating how sad it is that this event is something which gets little or no attention from the press, as it is heavily overshadowed by its religious counterpart, the National Day of Prayer, […]
FFRFMCC Commentary: “A Thought Equals Thinking. A Prayer Equals Not Thinking”
Well, here we are again. Another preventable tragedy where more children have lost their lives. Others have had their lives changed forever, both physically and emotionally.

In doing so, and winning, they just keep opening that proverbial […]
Vigilance is our Duty
Submitted by: Tom Cara, Director, FFRFMCC As we are now officially one month into a new Presidency, the FFRFMCC roundly condemns the bigoted, anti-religious, and unconstitutional actions of this administration. As non-theists, it is without question we often have very vocal opinions regarding religion – and not all of them are positive to say the […]
“February and the Birth of Scientific Giants”
Submitted by: Sanford Morganstein February is an especially good time to think of the scientific method and its deep connection to truth. It’s also a good time to think about the relationship of science to the citizen’s role in emphasizing truth. Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809. Galileo Galilei was also born […]
They Just HAD to Ask That Question! – Post VP Debate Commentary by the FFRFMCC Director
FFRFMCC Commentary Submitted by: Tom Cara, Director, FFRFMCC —————————————————————— Perhaps CBS News decided this was the best question and should be saved for the end. But for awhile, it looked as though we would be able to get through two full general election debates before religion was brought to the table. Unfortunately we were not […]
Christian Churches Continue to Show Their Preferences for Presidential Candidates
FFRFMCC Commentary Submitted by: Tom Cara, Director, FFRFMCC As we quickly approach the 2016 general election, it has become very apparent that religious organizations are viewing the presidential campaign as yet another opportunity to snub their pious noses at rules and regulations they feel should apply to everyone else but them. Religious leaders are becoming […]
