All Senate members are awarded points for (1) sponsoring or co-sponsoring key legislation that bolsters state-church separation, (2) casting votes that protect state-church separation and (3) voting against Trump nominees that threaten our secular democracy. As the legislative session progresses, the FFRF Action Fund will add additional criteria and adjust the weights for total scores as needed. 

As of August 4, 2026, the scoring criteria are: 

• Co-sponsoring: 
  • Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act (20% of total score)
  • Do No Harm Act (15%)
  • Stop Comstock Act (15%)
• Voting ‘Nay’ on GOP Reconciliation Bill (20%)
• Voting ‘Nay’ on Trump Nominees:
  • Emil Bove for circuit judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (15%)
  • Russell Vought for director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) (15%)

Scores are divided by these color-coded categories:

100–80: State/church champion (green)
70–60: State/church supporter (yellow)
50–30: State/church room for improvement (orange)
20–0: State/church detractor (red)
