Watch: Ronald Reagan’s Son Proclaims Lifelong Atheism in TV Ad, “Not Afraid of Burning in Hell”

Former president Ronald Reagan’s outspoken son, Ron Reagan, Jr, is not afraid to tell the world about his atheism, and is also not afraid of burning in hell, according to a TV commercial airing on CNN and Comedy Central.

“Hi, I’m Ron Reagan, an unabashed atheist,” the commercial begins. “And I’m alarmed at the intrusions of religion into our secular government.”

The commercial for the Freedom From Religion Foundation first aired last May, but Comedy Central’s The Daily Show has again picked up the spot to air on afternoon reruns of the program starting in April. The ad has already been airing on morning reruns of The Daily Show as well as on CNN for months.

Originally, the FFRF had trouble getting the commercial to be broadcast on network television as ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox all declined to run the ad. The FFRF’s co-president, Annie Laurie Gaylor, told Newsmax that it’s hard to get non-Christian commercials to air. “We believe in free speech, but in this climate even paid speech by unbelievers is often censored,” she said.

“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,” Reagan claims in the commercial.
