LeeWood was original member of the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, serving as its first Vice-President in the early 90’s. Later, he served as media liaison during many of the more newsworthy moments. Some of the notable milestones he was involved with include a Beware of Dogma billboard (FFRF sponsored), a (Coalition of Reason sponsored) bus campaign that went to court and finally landed on the buses around Central Arkansas, and a temporary “solstice display” that also took ASF through a court process where they prevailed. More recently, upon moving out of Little Rock and into neighboring Saline county, he created a local free thought group called the Saline Atheist & Skeptic Society.
For more than 55 years, American Atheists has fought to protect the absolute separation of religion from government and to elevate atheists and atheism in our nation’s public and political discourse.
