Congressional Freethought Caucus’ Rep. Hank Johnson on FFRF Sunday TV show
A prominent member of the Congressional Freethought Caucus is the guest on the Freedom From Religion Foundation's "Freethought Matters" TV show on Sunday.
Rep. Hank Johnson is in his eighth term representing Georgia's 4th District, which includes Atlanta's eastern suburbs. He is a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee and is chair of its Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet, making him a major player on court reform.
Johnson, who practices Nichiren Buddhism, recently joined the Congressional Freethought Caucus, which seeks to promote public policy based on reason, evidence, science and strong moral values to protect the secular character of our government, to oppose government discrimination against atheists, agnostics, humanist seekers, religious and nonreligious persons, and champion freedom of thought and conscience worldwide. Johnson talks on the show about his decision to join the caucus, his ideas to reform the courts, including Supreme Court expansion, the leadup to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, and how he has developed his strong sense of courage while facing tremendous obstacles in his life.
