Religion, Democracy, & the 2024 Elections
2024 is the first presidential election since the January 6th insurrection, raising important questions about what will happen in the days and months after election day on November 5th. Will we have a peaceful transfer of power? Will there be legal and/or illegal attempts to change election outcomes? Given the deep and wide role of religion in our public square — and the Insurrection — what role will religious communities play in fomenting anti-democratic movements and mobilizing pro-democracy coalitions? This event will gather an illustrious group of scholars and leaders to help process what happened — and prepare for what's next.
Sponsored by Americans United For Separation of Church and State and USC Knight Program in Media and Religion.
Panel 1:
Andrew L. Seidel (Constitutional Laywer at Americans United of Separation of Church and State and Author of The Founding Myth and American Crusade), Arlene Sanchez Walsh (Author of Pentecostals in America)

Andrew Seidel Book Reading at Heretic House
Join Atheists United for an intimate book reading with author and activist, Andrew Seidel!
His newest book, American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious Freedom, was just released in September and examines some of the key Supreme Court cases of the last thirty years and how a hallowed legal protection, freedom of religion, has been turned into a tool to advance privilege and impose religion on others. This is a meticulously researched and deeply insightful account of our political landscape with a foreword provided by noted constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, author of The Case Against the Supreme Court.
Limit capacity venue. Get tickets before they run out.
$5 for Atheists United members (and their guests). $15 for the general public. Get an Atheists United membership here and support more events like this in Los Angeles.

March with Atheists in the Covina Christmas Parade!
On Sat. Dec. 2nd, Atheists United is going to participate in the City of Covina’s Annual Christmas Parade!
Why? Because we want people to know…
Atheists are not alone this time of year
Atheists participate in our communities in wholesome, positive ways
Atheists are resilient against intimidation and bullying!
We did this last year and had a blast… in spite of the police surprising us with an escort!
It turns out one individual had made intimidating comments online about us and authorities didn’t want any trouble. And, there wasn’t, especially not from us!
The only way to overcome being met with reactions like this is to consistently be out in our communities… and show people they have nothing to worry about!
# Event details:
When:
Saturday Dec 2nd
Meet at 5:15 PM
Parade starts at 6:30 PM
Arrive early. Roads close for the parade by 4:30 PM
Where:
Corner of Badillo St and Barranca Ave (look for entry #172)
Waiver:
The city requires all participants sign these waivers for adults and youth (must be 11 years or older to walk with our vehicle)
Judging:
The parade’s theme this year is “sweet.” They’ll be judging us on that, so let’s get sugary… whatever that means to you! Our team name is the Solstice Sugar Saints. We’re planning on wearing glittery, sparkly gear and clothes that feature candy canes, gingerbread, and all that great stuff. (Nobody’s allowed to be Santa.) Your creative interpretation is also welcome!
They’ll also be judging us based on our decorations, enthusiasm, and crowd appeal. So let’s bring it!
RSVP:
Drop-ins welcome, but let us know ahead you’re coming so we can look out for you!

Hell of High Water: Religion and Climate Change Denial
Atheists United is thrilled to co-host Glenn Branch, Deputy Director of National Center for Science Education, with our local partner Center For Inquiry Los Angeles.
Despite the scientific consensus, there are substantial obstacles to the acceptance of anthropogenic climate change among the American public and to the incorporation of climate change in U.S. public science education.
In his talk, Glenn Branch of the National Center for Science Education will address the question, To what extent do religious views, in particular evangelical Christianity, present such obstacles, as they clearly have in the case of evolution? A spate of notorious incidents and dismaying statistics suggests that there’s a robust connection between evangelicalism and climate change denial. But a close analysis of recent history and survey data reveals that the connection is contingent and conditional, suggesting the possibility of its dissolution: it may not be necessary to wait for a cold day in Hell.
Glenn Branch is deputy director of the National Center for Science Education, a nonprofit organization that defends the integrity of science education against ideological interference. He was elected as a Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry in 2022. He was the co-editor, with Eugenie C. Scott, of Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong for Our Schools, and author or coauthor of numerous articles on climate education and evolution education, and obstacles to them, in such publications as Scientific American, The American Biology Teacher, and the Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics. He was awarded the Evolution Education Award for 2020 by the National Association of Biology Teachers.

Atheist Street Pirate Los Angeles Sign Hunt

My Journey Into Texas Secular Political Activism & How You Can Help | AU Live
Atheists United is thrilled to be hosting secular activist, Dr. Wil Jeudy, as this month's AU Live Speaker!
Wil was living his life as a young adult and voted every two years for the national elections. Then in 2016 Donald Trump was elected. Coincidentally this was the same time that he was gravitating towards secularism and atheism. In an attempt to make this world a better place, and because he only has limited time and energy… he decided to mash those two interests together and Secular Houston was born in 2021.
He now has a platform from which to give secular politics a voice in the greater Houston area, as well as to educate people on why local politics is extremely important and how to vote in those local politics.
***
This event is free for all Atheists United paid members with a suggested donation of $10 for non-members.
Members are also welcome at our AU Sunday Social from 11AM - 12:30PM on the 4th Sunday of each month just before our speaker event. Free food and snack for attendees.

In the coming months the Supreme Court will issue its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, and legal experts widely expect the Court to severely curtail -- or even overturn altogether -- the 50 year precedent that established every woman's right to determine if they will give birth.
If that happens, 36 million people across the country will lose access to abortion.
Join us on May 14th in Downtown LA to say "BANS OFF OUR BODIES!"
