The American Humanist Association recently signed on to a letter as an active member of the Coalition Against Religious Discrimination to Cecilia Munoz, the new Director of the Domestic Policy Council in the Obama Administration. The Coalition Against Religious Discrimination (CARD) was formed to oppose efforts, such as the Bush Administration's Faith-Based Initiative, that further entrench and expand policies that favor involvement by religious organizations in federal programs. This letter asked that Ms. Munoz meet with members of the coalition to discuss the state of secularism in the federal government and the ongoing issue of government sponsored religious discrimination carried out by faith-based aid organizations. We expect to hear from Ms. Munoz in the near future about meeting with the coalition and will continue to oppose faith-based initiatives.
