Herb Silverman, President of the Secular Coalition for America, will discuss the progress his organization has made in increasing the visibility and voice of Americans like you. The Secular Coalition for America is the only organization in the nation whose primary purpose is lobbying Congress on behalf of atheists, humanists, freethinkers, and other nontheistic Americans. From their office in the nation's capital, a full-time lobbyist and support staff engage public policy makers and the media on issues ranging from religion's influence on education and medical research to the privileging of faith groups by government.
