‘Secularist’ Bill Nye: “Solid separation of church and state is the only way to preserve religious freedom.”
The FFRF Action Fund names Bill Nye as its “Secularist of the Week” for his affirmation of state/church separation in Rep. Jared Huffman’s new book about the threat of theocracy.
Huffman revealed Nye’s blurb over the weekend for his upcoming book, https://x.com/JaredHuffman/status/2068438140759486835“No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism.” https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324130482/about-the-book/reviews ye shouts out the constitutional separation between state and church: “A compelling call to govern the United States with reason rather than authoritarianism. The time is now. Solid separation of church and state is the only way to preserve religious freedom — and to protect our democracy. Please read on.”
Nye, of course, is the renowned American science educator, actor, comedian and former mechanical engineer. He is best known for his PBS children’s science show “Bill Nye the Science Guy” that ran from 1993 to 1998.
Huffman gives “a behind-the-scenes look at the shocking extent of Christian nationalism’s reach in our government — and the fight to defend church-state separation” in “No Prophets.” https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324130482/about-the-book/reviews he book explores the landscape of Christian nationalism, arguing that it is the “most dangerous political movement” in the United States, and “examines how this violent confederation of religious extremists is undermining science, education, foreign policy, and the very architecture of our democracy.” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/246856792-no-prophets ellow co-chair of the Congressional Freethought Caucus https://ffrfaction.org/freethought-caucus/ , Rep. Jamie Raskin, provides the book’s foreword. “No Prophets” is set to be released on Aug. 18. https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324130482/about-the-book/reviews
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, former House speaker, also provides a blurb https://x.com/JaredHuffman/status/2068438140759486835 : “As someone who cherishes both my faith and our constitutional republic, I found ‘No Prophets’ both sobering and inspiring. Jared Huffman shows how Christian nationalism betrays the very principles it claims to defend, and he does so with clarity, compassion, and unflinching honesty.”
The FFRF Action Fund eagerly awaits Huffman’s exposé of Christian nationalism in “No Prophets” and salutes Nye for his commitment to science’s vital role in our secular democracy. Devaluing science and reason is a major player in Christian nationalism’s playbook, and we thank Nye for being one of the most prominent public figures working to counter the movement’s anti-science efforts.
