Sacramento’s 8th Annual Freethought Day Fair is a celebration of reason, freethought and church-state separation, featuring speakers, live music, education expo, and children’s activities. The event is an opportunity for the community to celebrate values and actions we take for granted today which were once seen as radical, and to commemorate the bold and independent thinkers who led our nation to its policy of governmental neutrality toward ultimate beliefs of citizens.
This year Freethought Day is proud to have as its featured speaker Herb Silverman, President of the Secular Coalition for America and panelist for the Washington Post’s “On Faith” online column. As a citizen of South Carolina, Herb once ran for governor as an atheist (the “candidate without a prayer"). When his application for Notary Public was denied when thousands of others were accepted, Herb took the case to court and, after 7 years, became a notary public.
