The Arkansas Society of Freethinkers and their Dogma
The Arkansas Society of Freethinkers is the group responsible for Monday’s court ruling requiring Secretary of State Charlie Daniels to open the Capitol grounds up to displays from virtually any group in Arkansas.

This new display does more than simply discuss the astronomical event of the winter solstice. It encourages people to take part in becoming a “freethinker”.
