Ask an Atheist: You betcha! Keeping Minnesota secular

This week on "Ask an Atheist," FFRF Legal Director Patrick Elliott, Deputy Legal Director Liz Cavell and Patrick O’Reiley Legal Fellow Hirsh Joshi talk about FFRF's next door neighbor - Minnesota! They discuss an alarming state/church violation FFRF is fighting in the state and an interesting dust up at the Mall of America.

Too bad all government employees are not required to actually know the law/Constitution, before they are offered a job.

I'm so glad you're on the job when these things arise! This is so appalling! As a Minnesota resident, (but not a resident of Itasca Cty) I would like to know how to help.

One of my favorite Wednesday TH-cam uploads, don't stop, FFRF.

It sounds as if you need some not ready for Prime Time Players to do some religious sketches so you can show people exactly what's acceptable and what's not and then talk about why

Thank you.

Always good reporting

Kudos for putting up our new flag-which will become official (replacing the staggeringly outdated previous one) this Saturday!

The Itasca jail 10 Commandment display is basically another marking of territory by the prevailing in-group. Very few supporters actually care about the actual commandments let alone abide them.
I was at the MOA with my family in April when Ramadan fasting ended. It was fun being there. The Muslim families were dressed up and using the Nickolodean midway space exactly in the way it was designed to be used….going on rides and buying treats. Attempting to draw grievance from this is laughable.

I love my new state flag.

4:00 Interesting this fellow's name is *Burl Ives,* I wonder if he's the son or grandson of the famous singer/actor. I guess he's got his own "Funny Way Of Laughing"!

So if this is allowed to stand, I wonder how long it will be before inmates are forced to attend religious services and pray before meals, and be penalized if they don't.

I'm in northern Minnesota. The religious nonsense up here really needs to stop. It's MAGA country up here, if that gives you a clue as to who I'm surrounded by.

There are no Ten Commandments. There are literally hundreds of commandments from Yahweh.
None of them enumerated.
