This is not a tragedy of nature. It’s a crisis caused by human choices — choices backed by billions of dollars in U.S. support.

We stand with Palestinians!
The Trump administration quietly stripped abortion care from veterans unless they are near death.

For many, the VA was the only option. Survivors of rape, incest, and serious medical risk are now left with none.

This is cruelty disguised as policy. Congress must reverse it.

Five years ago today, our country witnessed an historic affront to compassion, civility, and democracy itself. Today, we’re grateful for the remarkable efforts of elected officials and everyday Americans alike, who routinely stand up for democracy.

Today is Stephen Hawking’s birthday! Along with his monumental contributions to science, Hawking was a vocal advocate for progressive politics, and a longtime member of the humanist community. His legacy is a reminder to always engage with mystery, and to never stop asking “why”!

2025 showed what it takes to stand up to Christian nationalists.

They’re doubling down in 2026, with more attempts to merge religion and government and undermine civil liberties. We will be there each time they try.

It’s been an incredible year of growth for us at AHA - from our work supporting local humanist communities, to our fight for the separation of church and state. As 2025 comes to a close, we're grateful for every single humanist who has made this year so special. See you in 2026!

In 2025, Christian Nationalism didn’t stay theoretical. It showed up in real bills, real lawsuits, and real threats to church–state separation.

But wherever they tried it, we were there to stop them.

Now we’re building toward 2026. Join us.

Kids, don’t forget to put out some delicious test tubes and safety glasses for Bill Nye tonight! Remember, if you don’t leave him a sufficiently evidence-based treat, you’ll wake up to nothing but unusable data in your stocking! 😔🧪📉

Pete Hegseth is trying to do what he’s always done: treat his position as a pulpit and push his deeply conservative Christian Nationalist beliefs onto the troops.

Proud to be working with creators like The Antibot.

In this video, they react to TikToks and viewer letters from estranged evangelical parents grappling with their children’s deconstruction. It’s raw, uncomfortable, and deeply human.

A January 6–linked flag is flying outside the U.S. Department of Education.

The “Appeal to Heaven” flag is tied to Christian nationalist movements, not history. That ideology does not belong in government.
