What is the Anti-Discrimination Support Network?

The Anti-Discrimination Support Network (ADSN) combats discrimination against nontheists. The ADSN is a committee of the Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia, which is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization.

The ADSN was formed after several nontheist families filed legal challenges against the Boy Scouts of America's biased and unfair membership practices.

The ADSN seeks to assist families who face discrimination. Committee members share information, offer support, provide legal guidance, publicize discriminatory practices, and initiate protest activities such as letter writing campaigns and rallies.

The ADSN pursues freedom from religious testing and endeavors to teach tolerance through diversity. Committee members seek respect for the non-theist community's duty to conscience through dialog and open communication.
