Americans United for Separation of Church and State

Freedom Without Favor, Equality Without Exception

Separation of church and state guarantees religious freedom, a fundamental right. Americans United shields our shared laws from the influence of any one religion so we can be free to come together as equals and build a stronger democracy.
