A Texas Republican is 'deeply concerned' that Humanist International isn't doing HIS work. Damned humanists.

“Such revelations are alarming and remain a pressing matter for Congressional oversight,”

Hmm bzzz bzz bz...
"House Republicans are threatening to subpoena the State Department for failing to hand over requested emails and texts related to a $500,000 State Department grant to an organization “Promoting and Defending Religious Freedom Inclusive of Atheist, Humanist, Non-Practicing and Non-Affiliated Individuals.....an outlook and system of thought that attaches prime importance to human effort rather than divine or supernatural powers.”

....accused the State Department of trying to promote atheism overseas under the guise of advancing religious pluralism, .. Rep. Brian Mast, a Florida Republican who chairs the panel’s oversight and accountability subcommittee, has also helped spearhead inquiries.

.......... unacceptable continuation of this pattern of obfuscation...because "The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause of the Constitution bars the use of tax dollars to promote theocracy, a specific religion or belief system."

Too heavy for Sunday. Back to roasting Hatch chilis. |

Wait wait... I found the beef! "A statement on HI’s website praises a Nigerian court for upholding the appeal of Mubarak Bala and reducing his prison sentence from 24 years to five years for violating the country’s blasphemy laws. In 2020, Bala was arrested in northern Nigeria, where Islam is the government’s dominant religion and thousands of Christians are killed each year, for a series of Facebook posts expressing his humanist beliefs.
