Colorado Secular
advocacy team
American Atheists Organization
Sponsored by the American Atheists, this group promotes a greater level of engagement by secular
community advocates with state and local governments.
American Atheists has produced resources that assist with state and local advocacy by tracking and analyzing state laws, providing model legislation, warning about dangerous campaigns by Christian nationalists, and providing data about nonreligious people and communities to better allow local advocates to communicate the importance of these issues.
