SFF has given $50,000 to the American Humanist Association for funding a grant writer. This is the first time the secular movement will be writing grant applications on a large scale to mainstream foundations and charities. Grant applications will be sent out on behalf of AHA, The Humanist Institute, and The Institute for Humanist Studies.
"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity in exclusion of all other religions may establish, with the same ease, any particular sect of Christians in exclusion of all other sects?"
James Madison, A Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments, June 20, 1785
"I detest and fear dogma....dogma is the enemy of human freedom....the human spirit glows from that small inner light of doubt whether we are right, while those who believe with complete certainty that they possess the right are dark inside and darken the world outside with cruelty, pain, and injustice."
Saul Alinsky
"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State."
Thomas Jefferson
"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."
Carl Sagan
