About Us

The Center for Freethought Equality is the advocacy and political arm of the American Humanist Association. The Center for Freethought Equality advocates for issues the humanist and atheist community cares about like the separation of church and state, protecting civil liberties, and advancing progressive policies.

When legislation is proposed that overlaps with our priorities, our members and supporters across the country are alerted and respond by contacting their lawmakers to make their voices heard. You can see and sign up for our action alerts here.

The Center for Freethought Equality compiles a scorecard in for each Congress to educate citizens about their elected officials’ voting record on key issues that affect atheist and humanist Americans.

The Center for Freethought Equality also has an affiliated political action committee that works to increase the number of open humanists and atheists in public office at all levels of government. You can see a list of atheist and humanist elected officials here.
