Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is never passive. It’s something we defend, expand, and live out every day. That’s what we did at CFI in 2024. Here’s the full report on how we fought for secular values, critical thinking, and evidence-based policy: ow.ly/XTXL50Wc18e

Right-wing pastor Rob McCoy says Iran can't have nukes because Muslim leaders want to bring about the End Times. Meanwhile, evangelical preacher Max Lucado says we should welcome the bombings because they will bring about the End Times.
