Christian Nationalist Jason Rapert Fast Tracks Arkansas s Church Superspreader Bill, Disregards COVID-19 Infections and Deaths

Little Rock, Arkansas Today, the public policy watchdog American Atheists denounced Arkansas’s church superspreader bill (HB 1211), which this afternoon passed the Senate Committee for State Agencies and Governmental Affairs. This committee is chaired by State Senator Stanley “Jason” Rapert, a noted Christian nationalist lawmaker, whom American Atheists is suing for violating the free speech of atheists. This bill has already passed the Arkansas House of Representatives. HB 1211 permits houses of worship to ignore public health restrictions, increasing the likelihood that they will become COVID-19 hotspots. Yet at no point during the hearing did Rapert or the bill’s sponsor, Senator Kim Hammer, consider the dangerous public health implications of this legislation. Nor did Rapert mention the testimony submitted by American Atheists or other groups, which raised these grave public health concerns.

Arkansas Legislature Passes Church Superspreader Bill, Allows People to Kill Themselves and the Community with COVID-19

Little Rock, Arkansas Today, the public policy watchdog American Atheists condemned passage of Arkansas’s church superspreader bill (HB 1211) in the Senate (31-0 with 4 present). This bill passed the Arkansas House of Representatives on January 28 and the Senate Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs, chaired by noted Christian nationalist Jason Rapert, yesterday. It will now go to the governor’s desk. During the floor vote, Rapert read the title of American Atheists’ press release from yesterday “Christian Nationalist Jason Rapert Fast Tracks Arkansas’s Church Superspreader Bill, Disregards COVID-19 Infections and Deaths”. Nonetheless, he failed to consider its contents that HB 1211 will increase the likelihood that churches will become deadly COVID-19 hotspots. State Senator Linda Chesterfield admitted as much when she said, “I’m going to vote for the bill…people have the right to decide whether or not they want to kill themselves.”
