American Atheists Viewpoint

Sunday April 23, 2017 Amanda Knief joins Nick Fish to discuss Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer and the upcoming US Supreme Court hearing regarding Blaine Amendments that are a part of the state constitution in 38 states.  Blaine amendments prohibit government from directly funding church, in an effort to avoid unnecessary church state entanglements. American Atheists is a national 501(c)(3) organization that defends civil rights for atheists, freethinkers, and other nonbelievers; works for the total separation of religion and government; and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.  Follow our updates on Twitter and Facebook, and download this podcast in iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, your computer, or just by using your favorite podcast listening app. LINKS:  Trinity Lutheran Church Vs Missouri: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/04/19/gorsuch_looks_poised_to_rule_that_states_must_subsidize_churches.html Blaine Amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaine_Amendme
