Ronald Reagan's son films TV ad for Freedom From Religion Foundation

Ron Reagan, 56, a son of the late Republican President Ronald Reagan, continues to starkly differentiate his views from those of his famous father.

The younger Reagan, an outspoken political liberal, has taped a television commercial for the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation.

"I'm Ron Reagan, an unabashed atheist, and I'm alarmed by the intrusions of religion into our secular government," he says in the 30-second ad. "That's why I'm asking you to support the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the nation's largest and most effective association of atheists and agnostics, working to keep state and church separate, just like our founding fathers intended."

At the end of the ad, Reagan says he's a "lifelong" atheist who is "not afraid of burning in hell."

The ad aired May 22 during Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," both on Comedy Central.

Although it is logically impossible for a First Cause not to exist, the Divine Faith we have received is a gift.  Let's pray others might receive this gift.
