Atheists Against the Rick Warren Inaugural Invocation
- Target: President-Elect Barack Obama
- Sponsored by: Irregular Times
We, the undersigned, note that:
1. The Inauguration is a secular, public occasion to begin the term of a President who is supposed to serve all Americans, regardless of creed.
2. Rick Warren has publicly declared that he believes that only people who believe in God should be allowed to become President of the United States.
Rick Warren's agenda is contrary to Constitution's ban on any religious test for public office. Furthermore, a religious invocation is in violation of the separation of church and state.
When you take the Oath of Office, you will pledge to uphold the Constitution. Please, don't break that promise with the first act of your Inauguration. We, atheist citizens of the United States of America, urge you to keep the 2009 Inauguration a secular event that speaks equally to all Americans, and to remove Rick Warren from the official inaugural ceremonies.
