Freethought TV now available on Samsung Smart TV

Freethought TV, the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s free secular streaming channel, is now available on the top streaming device in American homes: Samsung Smart TV. With the launch of the new channel platform, the innovative streaming service can be seen on 68.7 million Smart TVs in the United States.

Designed for smart TVs, streaming sticks and mobile devices, Freethought TV provides on-demand access to the latest FFRF programming, alongside an expansive archive of hundreds of classic episodes produced in house over the years and convention speeches. The platform offers a dynamic mix of informative, inspiring and entertaining content aimed at freethinkers, skeptics, state/church separation advocates and anyone curious about secular perspectives.

“We’re excited to make our content available for free to so many millions of homes,” says FFRF Co-President Dan Barker. “We’re giving the public direct access to a rich library of secular programming — empowering viewers to explore and engage with a wide spectrum of freethought voices.”

Freethought TV features new FFRF series, such as “Secular Spotlight” and “Freethought Radio In Studio” (video versions of interviews), as well as complete seasons of classic shows like “Freethought Matters” and “Ask An Atheist.” In addition, the channel features speeches by major figures, authors and activists from FFRF national conventions and musical and seasonal specials. There’s also a section called “Greatest Hits,” which features the most popular FFRF videos of all time.

The channel will occasionally broadcast live programming, too. For instance, FFRF’s musical Winter Solstice Celebration was carried live on Freethought TV in December.

Apart from Smart TV, the app is also available on Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, Android TV and Android smartphones. Versions of Freethought TV for LG, AppleTV and iPhones will be announced soon.

With a built-in search function and an optional free personal account, users can instantly find and bookmark their favorite episodes. Freethought TV is simple to install — just search for “Freethought TV” in your device’s app store and follow the easy prompts to start streaming immediately.

Barker notes that Freethought TV is the only streaming app on any major platform exclusively dedicated to the concerns of atheists, agnostics and other freethinkers.

“There are scores of streaming channels out there run by megachurches and religious broadcasters,” Barker, a former minister turned atheist, notes.“Right now, Freethought TV is a lone voice for reason in a sea of religious propaganda.”

“We like to call it ‘free content for free minds,’” he adds.
