The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) is the largest advocacy group for atheists in the United States. At the organization, constitutional and civil rights attorney Andrew Seidel works to ensure that the government obeys the First Amendment and that Thomas Jefferson's "Wall of Separation" between church and state remains tall and impregnable. Andrew joined us on the podcast to talk about the history of secularism in the United States; the impact of Christianity and Christian fundamentalism on American politics today—especially in light of the Trump presidency and recent events like the Masterpiece Cakeshop controversy and the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy; America's historical and current approach to Islam and Muslims; and more.
