The N.C. Republican Party is linking Kay Hagan to the Godless Americans PAC.

A mailer from the party authorized by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's campaign notes that Hagan appeared at a Sept. 15 fundraiser hosted by author Wendy Kaminer and Woody Kaplan.

Both are leaders of the Secular Coalition of America, which advocates for atheists and humanists in public policy. Kaplan also sits on the advisory board of the Godless Americans political action committee, which advocates for nonbelievers.

"Godless Americans PAC wants to remove 'Under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance," the mailer says. "And now, they want Kay Hagan in the U.S. Senate."

Inside, it says the PAC supports political candidates who are atheists, wants to "force the Boy Scouts to accept atheists and homosexuals as troop leaders," and seeks to "remove any reference to God in the public arena, including eliminating the Christmas holiday."
