The badguys call us Demons. But we get a kick out of that. Demons don't exist. People do. Let's take responsibility for the world around us.
For Rhode Island Atheists, we're big on religious freedom and by extension, freedom to love, freedom to read, reproductive freedom & freedom to vote.

May 6th is the RI Day of Reason. State House Ceremony is at 3pm in the Library.
Although Rhode Island Atheists was disappointed in his poor choice of wording, we invite the Representative to attend this year's Ceremony to develop a better understanding of both our organization and the Day of Reason.
Bill B had his own feelings. 😎
A genocidal dictator...

Good news, most courts are enforcing existing law. TWP and others are pushing for the RI Voter's Rights Act, to create voting protections for everyone. Courts in RI, at least for the time being, will protect us because they can point to the law. Also, why we watch court appointments. Join us.
