SUMMARY:Carl Sagan Day
DESCRIPTION:Carl Sagan Day (http://www.carlsaganday.com/) marks the birthday of the great Carl Sagan\, and is a celebration to honor his memory. Carl Sagan was Professor of Astronomy and Space Science and Director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University\, an outspoken skeptic\, humanist and freethinker\, and a Pulitzer Prize winning science author. But for the most part the public remembers him as the creator of the Cosmos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos:_A_Personal_Voyage) television series. This Emmy and Peabody award-winning PBS series transformed educational television when it first aired in 1980. Thirty years later it still seems fresh\, and has gone on to affect the hearts and minds of over a billion people in sixty countries. His magnum opus was his final book\, The Demon-Haunted World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demon-Haunted_World)\, published in 1995\, the year before his untimely death. Few other science writers (perhaps only Isaac Asimov) were able to reach and teach so many nonscientists in such a meaningful way. So in 2009\, the Center for Inquiry (http://www.centerforinquiry.net/carlsaganday) inaugurated Carl Sagan Day as a secular holiday. Each year we will continue to celebrate Dr. Sagan\, remember him and his work\, and revel in the wondrous cosmos he helped us understand.

SUMMARY:Church/State Separation Week
DESCRIPTION:Many freethinkers have adopted the week of Thanksgiving (~November 24) as Church/State Separation Week\, to offer concerned and active citizens an opportunity to educate others about the importance of a clear division between Church and State. The hope is that this secular holiday will rally us and provide a platform to celebrate one of this nation’s finest contributions to civilization. Secularist societies such asAmericans United for the Separation of Church and State (http://www.au.org/)\, the Institute for First Amendment Studies (http://www.ifas.org/)\, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (http://www.ffrf.org/)\, the American Atheists (http://www.atheists.org/) and the Institute for the Secularization of Islamic Society (http://www.secularislam.org/)\, as well as others united for a secular government\, have supported this celebration. In humanist circles\, some also celebrate November 24 as Evolution Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_Day)\, marking as it does the anniversary of the first publication of The Origin of Species (Nov 24\, 1859). For the most\, however\, the focus is on church/state separation this week. Carles Darwin has his own secular holiday (see: February 12).
