Immediate attention

State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

There are problems with your reversion of my edit, which was deleting a blog as a source. Now the formatting is messy after you added a footnote at the beginning of the paragraph and changed the Title format. I would revert and fix it but I don't want anyone to think I'm edit warring :) Also you need to delete the "friendly atheist" citation. Adding the other citation does not fix the fact that sources like that blog are not reliable for wikipedia purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihaveadreamagain (talk • contribs) 16:58, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

"anti-poverty charities"

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

At the moment, the text says: the FFRF "challenges the legitimacy of federal and state government support for faith-based programs, such as chaplaincy services and anti-poverty charities". I wanted to clarify this statement because it seems possibly not NPOV because of the way it states "anti-poverty charities" with no qualifier. As if FFRF are against anti-poverty charities in general. But I can't find any information about FFRF actually campaigning against anti-poverty programs by religious groups. Can anyone help?

Without an explicit source, that text doesn't belong. I shall remove it. HiLo48 (talk) 05:08, 10 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I'm on mobile at the moment, but the BOOD change of the capitalization needs to be reverted. The f in "From" is capitalized. lethargilistic (talk) 00:24, 5 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
