No doubt you’ve seen or heard in the news that the U.S. Air Force, citing a detailed report issued by Americans United, says it will organize a task force to study allegations of widespread discrimination and hostility toward non-evangelical Christians at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Despite what Religous Right groups like Focus on the Family are telling their members (see an example below), AU’s goal is to ensure that all members of the Air Force Academy community—students and staff—are free from religious coercion or pressure, making choices about their own spirituality as conscience dictates. The Academy has a responsibility to protect these rights—and we’ll do all we can to see that they fulfill it.
The Air Force’s response to our report demonstrates the effectiveness of AU’s endeavors—but we can only undertake watchdog projects, court cases, grassroots organizing, and legislative and educational efforts with the financial support of others who cherish Thomas Jefferson’s church-state wall.
We truly appreciate your interest in, activism for, and commitment to church-state separation.
