‘Freedom from Religion Foundation’ Urges Boycott of National Prayer Breakfast
Breitbart ^ | 30 January 2023 | Joel B. Pollak

The nonprofit Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) has sent a letter to Congress and the White House urging a boycott of the National Prayer Breakfast, which is due to be held on Thursday morning this week.

The National Prayer Breakfast is controversial and shrouded in secrecy. It has become a nexus for religious extremism, infiltration by Russian agents, and organized bigotry (anti-LGBTQ and anti-labor). The National Prayer Breakfast is an active marketplace of Christian nationalism, and it is not the bipartisan event that it purports to be.


Go to hell. Oh wait you are. Never mind

Hey, if the Freedom from Religion Foundation doesn’t want to go, they don’t have to go.

“26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of
“separation of church and state.”

Coincidence? And how come no one is calling this out?

This outfit has a very strange notion of ‘separation of state and church’, and what it intended.

Attention Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF): REPENT, while you still can. The road you’re on leads to a very bad destination.

Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. […]

We said at the beginning of this introduction that Marxism cannot be conceived without atheism. We would add here that atheism without Marxism is incomplete and inconsistent.

— Lenin, “Religion”, Introduction

One of the most important tasks of the cultural revolution affecting the wide masses is the task of systematically and unswervingly combating religion — the opium of the people. The proletarian government must withdraw all state support from the church, which is the agency of the former ruling class; it must prevent all church interference in state-organized educational affairs, and ruthlessly suppress the counterrevolutionary activity of the ecclesiastical organizations. At the same time, the proletarian state, while granting liberty of worship and abolishing the privileged position of the formerly dominant religion, carries on anti-religious propaganda with all the means at its command and reconstructs the whole of its educational work on the basis of scientific materialism.

— Sixth World Congress of Comintern
That explains the behavior of the FFRF.

FFRF co-founder Annie Laurie Gaylor is a 40+ year activist, and was editor of The Daily Cardinal in Madistan (Berkeley East) when I was there. I witnessed her “reporters” write something on a piece of paper and hand it around the newsroom for others to read out loud, so that they could “report” “others are saying...”

Today’s “journalistic integrity” began long ago.
