May 5 - Atheists protest National Day of Prayer with National Day of Reason

Article: Misc. 
 

Today, Thursday, May 5, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and humanists are protesting the National Day of Prayer and staging their own National Day of Reason. Many of those protesting a National Day of Prayer do so in an attempt to protect and affirm the separation of church and state enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 
Many believe a National Day of Prayer violates the establishment clause to the First Amendment which guarantees a separation between religion and government. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a church/state watchdog with a large national presence, is currently challenging the National Day of Prayer in federal and state courts for this reason. 

Rather than prayer, a National Day of Reason is a time for focusing upon the employment of reason, critical thought, the scientific method, and free inquiry into the resolution of human problems; free of restrictions imposed by religious tradition, dogma or superstition.

The National Day of Reason is a secular holiday sponsored by the American Humanist Association. Many secular humanists have deep concerns about the current state of political affairs, affairs a National Day of Prayer serves to symbolize. For many the power and influence of the religious right is an alarming development. Many fear the intrusion of religious ideology into all forms of government. A National Day of Reason is a time to contemplate and address such concerns.
