Religion can’t be a shield for abuse, coercion, or medical neglect.
Protecting a child from harm isn’t anti-religious. It’s the court doing its job.

A child suffered panic attacks after hearing fire-and-brimstone sermons and being told her dad might go to Hell.
A judge stepped in to stop it.
Now the Maine Supreme Court will have to decide what's more important: religion or a child's mental health?

Will the Maine Supreme Court allow a mother to keep harming her daughter with religion?
Maine's top court will soon decide if psychological harm can affect a custody case if that harm stems from religion

New Gallup data shows a historic shift: only 49% of Americans now say religion is important in their daily lives, down from 66% in 2015.
Fewer Americans identify with religion, fewer attend church, and more embrace secular values every year.

Actually, Benny, the Constitution disagrees.
You don’t need to believe in God to be an American — you just need to believe in freedom. You know, like the freedom to believe whatever you want.
That’s why the founders banned religious tests for public office.

Apparently “religious freedom” now means only Christians get to force their "values" on everyone else.
What if we tried something radical — like no religion controlling our government at all?
