The FFRF Action Fund honors renowned actress and activist Mia Farrow as its “Secularist of the Week” for her strong affirmation of the constitutional separation between state and church.
Farrow took to BlueSky at the end of April to dismiss the Christian nationalist myth that the United States is a Christian nation while declaring her commitment to state/church separation.
“I don’t want to live in a Christian country,” Farrow asserted. “I want to live in a country where I can choose to be Christian, or Jewish, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or atheist. Freedom. Separation of
church and state.”
In addition to her acting career, Farrow is well-known for her dedicated humanitarian and environmental activism.
FFRF Action Fund sincerely thanks Farrow for publicly declaring the importance of separating state and church as essential for true freedom in our country. Consigning the United States to the status of a Christian nation obscures American history and undermines constitutional state/church separation — as well as the rights of those of other religions and nonreligion.
Prominent public figures like Farrow are needed as allies as we fight to safeguard our secular democracy.
FFRF Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) organization that develops and advocates for legislation, regulations and government programs to preserve the constitutional principle of separation between state and church. It also advocates for the rights and views of nonbelievers, endorses candidates for political office, and publicizes the views of elected officials concerning religious liberty issues.
