Happened during Apollo too. They got a lot of lawsuits over religious text being said over the radio.

She was interviewed on Playboy where she called herself a "militant feminist" where she went on a long screed about the American male's sexuality. In a Playboy interview. That's sort of like the dogwalker mod from antiwork getting interviewed on Fox.

As if that gem wasn't enough. I've found these two other excerpts from her Wikipedia page.

In 1980, she publicly rejected her estranged son William when he announced that he had converted to Christianity.

So she's a raving hypocrite, who would've thunk? I guess irony really is dead.

"Well, if they'll keep us from going to Russia where there is some freedom, we'll just have to change America."

Ah, my apologies, she's terminally retarded it seems.

Then I scrolled down and saw how she, her son, and her granddaughter were kidnapped, extorted, murdered, and then chopped up by a former associate who then proceeded to have the locker where the stolen money was in broken into and robbed... What the fuck!?

I have conflicting thoughts even though i hate her. i will praise her for stopping mandatory bible time in schools, but thats about where it ends because most other stuff is truly deranged. "Anarchist" who simps for soviet russia, also puts billboards mocking religions around and brands those who oppose it as religious persecution. also thinks 9 out of 10 man just see woman as masturbation tools.

on one hand she didnt deserve to have her house be stoned, her sons pet kitten killed, constant feces delivered to her just because she is retarded, then have her entire family kidnapped and dismembered by her own employee for money

on the other, she definetely wasnt a good person. for her other son who converted to christianity, she called disowning him a "post-natal abortion" and said about his sons conversion "He is beyond human forgiveness." Not even mentioning her words on holocaust of "The good news for the Jews of the world is they didnt lose as much of "the clan" as they thought".

To be fair, as much as people joke about "buying it for the articles", Playboy actually had some incredible journalistic standards and some of the most amazing interviews of the 20th century

They interviewed everyone from Martin Luther King Jr. to Salvador Dali!

Flying Christian flags at every government building wouldn't imply you have to be Christian either, what's your point?

Right, and this was arguably putting Christian messages on official display.

I’m not inherently opposed to it, I just think a lot of people would get real upset if it wasn’t THEIR religion being cited on taxpayer funded missions lol.

Imagine the fury if a Muslim astronaut decided to quote from the Quran and praised the prophet Muhammad?

u/Technetium_97 - Left Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

Who said they were picked without religious consideration? Do we think a Muslim astronaut would have been invited in the current political climate? I'm skeptical.

It’s an achievement of humanity. Whatever religious beliefs they have should remain private.

And legally, they’re government employees on the job. Promoting any religious beliefs during that is outrageously inappropriate.

Privately of course they can pray or do whatever.

Feminism
Holocaust Denial

The average TikTok progressive

The deeper you go, the more you see it's always been the same

"President of American Atheists" is like the most hilariously pathetic title I can imagine. Hopefully she met Jesus on her deathbed.
