Georgia US Representative Hank Johnson

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. “The evangelical movement at its core is a political movement that operates under the guise of religion, and the purveyors of that thinking use people who are honestly seeking spiritual goodness,” he explains the Religious Right leadership to “Freethought Matters” co-hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor. “It’s misleading those people into a political framework, and it uses those people to go out and vote for right-wing free marketeers. It’s all about money and power.” Learn more about the Freedom From Religion Foundation at ffrf.org.
