DESCRIPTION:
download PDF (552.3 kibibytes) Eddie Tabash is in his 29th year as a member of the Board of Trustees of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He also chairs the Board of Directors of the Center for Inquiry. He has filed amicus briefs with the United States Supreme Court, the California Supreme Court, and the California Court of Appeal, in cases dealing with the separation of church and state.

He is known for his expertise in demonstrating that the Framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights intended for non believers to be legally equal with believers. The Founders designed our Constitutional system to require government to maintain benevolent neutrality between religion and non belief.

By the end of 2020, Trump managed to secure not only the first religious right wing majority on the Supreme Court, but also the first six to three supermajority. This current supermajority has spent the past almost six years dismantling many pillars of church/state separation



This supermajority is enabling the increased imposition of religious authoritarianism. States are now requiring formal Bible study in the schools and the posting of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. In 2022, the religious right achieved its most important objective, when, after almost 50 years, they finally managed to destroy nationwide constitutional protection for abortion rights.

Eddie Tabash will explain these cases and offer some possible actions that we still might take in our attempt to stop the current hemorrhaging of our freedoms and in a multi generational struggle to fully establish once again an officially secular government.
