Join Dan Barker, Co-President of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), as he speaks at a public meeting hosted by the Austin Chapter of FFRF on March 14, 2026, in Austin, Texas.
Barker will present a talk titled “The Battle of Church and State,” examining the ongoing constitutional and cultural debates surrounding the separation of religion and government in the United States. Drawing from his experience as a former evangelical minister turned atheist activist and his decades of work advocating for secular government, Barker will discuss why maintaining a clear boundary between church and state remains vital to protecting religious freedom for all.
As Co-President of FFRF, Barker works to uphold the constitutional principle of separation between religion and government through education, advocacy, and legal action. During the event, he will share insights from FFRF’s work challenging church-state violations across the country and will engage with attendees during a discussion period.
The event will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Little Walnut Creek Branch of the Austin Public Library, located at 835 W Rundberg Ln, Austin, TX 78758. The meeting is free and open to the public.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear Barker’s perspective on current church-state issues and learn more about FFRF’s efforts to defend the First Amendment.
