We plan an annual event to commemorate the National Day of Reason, which honors the principles of secular lawmaking and separation of religion and government. We observe this day to remind Minnesota lawmakers that public policy should be based on reason, science, and evidence to promote the general welfare. We affirm that government should not favor one religion over another or the religious over the nonreligious, as mandated by the Constitution.
