Equality without exception
Church-state separation ensures that all people are treated the same — full civil rights regardless of their religious beliefs or the religious beliefs of others.
The separation of church and state ensures that everyone has equal access to hospitals and medical care, public schools and government services regardless of their religious beliefs or the beliefs of others. It’s about all of us being equal.
Americans United works every day to protect this constitutional promise and to hold back the rising tide of White Christian Nationalism and its existential threat to our democracy.

How We Protect Religious Equality and Freedom
Religious freedom in America must be defended in the courts, legislatures, and the public square. Americans United brings together people of all religions and none to protect the separation of church and state.
We bring together Americans of all religions and none to speak out for the freedom to live as ourselves and believe as we choose.
We fight for laws that prevent religion from being used to harm others.
We litigate against religious extremists and their lawmaker allies who are attacking religious freedom in America.
