https://thetruthseeker.net/the-publication/truth-s...And from Wikipedia:
The Truth Seeker is an American periodical published since 1873.[1] It was considered the most influential Freethought publication during the period following the Civil War into the first decades of the 20th century, known as the Golden Age of Freethought. Though there were other influential Freethought periodicals, Truth Seeker was the only one with a national circulation.[1] The headquarters is in San Diego, California. The Truth Seeker is the world’s oldest freethought publication, and one of the oldest periodicals in America. Among general-readership titles, only Harper’s Magazine, The Atlantic, Scientific American, and The Nation are older.[2]There are PDFs of the issues on line but they're password protected, and require a $35 annual subscription for a paper mailing and access to the PDFs.

Nope. But I’m a member of FFRF, Freedom From Religion Foundation, which does good work, supports lawsuits against towns that insist on putting Jesus displays (at taxpayer expense) in the town square, teach the little ones about it in public school, etc.
Send me a monthly mailing of a 12 (?) page broadsheet, discretely covered in a blank cover with just FFRF (address) as the return. I read it almost every month. They have a particularly good column titled (from memory, here, don’t quote me) “Hate Mail We’ve Received This Month.” Some of it it’s truly hilarious, and of course, alarming.
They occasionally put up billboards which are tasteful, at least in my opinion, but I’m sure enrage the fundies. Personally when I die I’m asking my gift be used to put up non-tasteful billboards, and not electronic ones that change. I want solid, clear, distinct messaging, and I want it to stand there for a month or months at a time.
Go ahead, yell at me all you want. I’ll be dead.
