Hi <<Name>>,

Do religions abuse taxpayer money through America's Faith Based Initiative system?

Yes, they do. This week, the Secular Policy Institute releases an original, comprehensive, 21-page report!

Also in this issue, the SPI led the secular movement with a protest in Las Vegas to end discrimination against nonbelievers. See the TV news clips.

And our Canadian coalition members score a big win at Canada's Supreme Court, and our SPI Fellows explain happiness and why teachers cheat.
