Supreme Court Rulings Raise Concerns Among Secular Groups

Secular-Coalition-SCOTUS-NEWS-sm

Secular activists were at the Supreme Court and Capitol Hill this week raising concerns about the wall of separation between religion and government. The Secular Coalition for America led demonstrations against recent Supreme Court decisions, including the Hobby Lobby ruling, which they believe allow religion to encroach on the state. They expressed their concern with a symbolic “wall of separation” that was sewn from 1600 knitted bricks collected from supporters across the country.

Watch Lauren Anderson Youngblood of the Secular Coalition For America describe more about the “Knit A Brick” campaign.
