About Us...North Carolina Secular AssociationThe North Carolina Secular Association is a coalition of secular, humanist, nontheist, and skeptic groups across North Carolina who have come together to create and foster a closer-knit community. This association aims to facilitate better communication, increased interaction, and the sharing of information and resources among the various groups involved. The association hopes to promote the continuing growth, open engagement, and public acceptance of the secular community within a larger society through education, public outreach, and by engaging in joint and positive action where each group's common interests and goals converge.

Presidential Quotes"If there is one thing for which we stand in this country, it is for complete religious freedom, and it is an emphatic negation of this right to cross-examine a man on his religion before being willing to support him for public office."- Theodore Roosevelt "We cannot permit any inquisition either from within or from without the law or apply any religious test to the holding of office. The mind of America must be forever free." - Calvin Coolidge "I believe in an America where the separation of Church and State is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be a Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him." - John F. Kennedy "I believe in the American tradition of separation of church and state which is expressed in the First Amendment to the Constitution. By my office--and by my personal conviction--I am sworn to uphold that tradition." - Lyndon B. Johnson "Keep the church and state forever separated." - Ulysses S. Grant "The divorce between Church and State ought to be absolute." - James A. Garfield "I believe in the separation of church and state and would not use my authority to violate this principle in any way." - Jimmy Carter "Thank God, under our constitution there was no connection between Church and State..." - James K. Polk We all agree that neither the Government nor political parties ought to interfere with religious sects. It is equally true that religious sects ought not to interfere with the Government or with political parties. We believe that the cause of good government and the cause of religion suffer by all such interference. - Rutherford B. Hayes "The United States has adventured upon a great and noble experiment... of total separation of Church and State." - John Tyler |
