At Americans United's, we bring people together to protect real religious freedom.

Americans United works across the country to connect people who care about keeping religion and government separate.

We help students, parents, faith leaders and concerned Americans learn how to protect the separation of church and state nationally and in their communities. We have the tools and support you need to make a meaningful difference. When you join Americans United, you will:

  • Learn about current issues affecting religious freedom
  • Meet others who share your values
  • Get tips for talking to local leaders
  • Join campaigns that matter to you
  • Join a local chapter
  • Work with other community groups
  • Write letters to newspapers and lawmakers
  • Share your story with others

When important issues come up, we help people work together quickly to protect church-state separation. You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference.  From local chapters to online webinars, we create spaces where everyone can learn, connect, and take action. Together, we’re building a strong community of people working to protect freedom without favor and equality without exception for everyone. 

We are one nation, all beliefs

"Church state separation is what protects our freedom and our equality. If you support abortion rights and reproductive freedom, if you support LGBTQ equality, if you care about having thriving and inclusive public schools, if you care about our democracy, then you care about church-state separation and you have to step up right now and join us in this fight."
