We at Atheists for Liberty condemn the attack that occurred today against former President Donald Trump during the rally in Pennsylvania. This senseless act of violence resulted in multiple injuries, at least one death, and, we fear, significant damage to the prospect of civility for the upcoming election. Violence against political candidates is unacceptable in a nation that upholds diversity of thought and respects law and order. We encourage all members of our community to use this moment to recommit to nonviolence and respect for all Americans, regardless of political differences. Our thoughts go out to all of those who were directly impacted today, and we wish for a quick recovery for President Trump.

Atheists for Liberty will continue to fight for the separation of church and state for all Americans.
