Twenty humanists and other freethought activists, uniting behind the banner of a new Coalition of Reason, marched in Fredericksburg, Virginia, this past Sunday, January 8. The occasion was the annual Religious Freedom Day Parade, celebrating Thomas Jefferson’s “Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom,” drafted after a committee met in Fredericksburg in January 1777 to revise Virginia’s laws. The bill would later become the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom.
