American Atheists (Official)

About me:

This is the Official MySpace Page for American Atheists, Inc.

We often hear that Americans have "freedom of religion." You have another freedom, though: freedom from religion and from paying heavy taxes so religious organizations and churchgoers in the United States can benefit from your tax payment!

American Atheists is an organization dedicated to the maintenance of that freedom. We defend the civil rights of Atheists, and call for the total, absolute separation of church and state. Our movement grew out of the historic Murray v. Curlett (1963) U.S. Supreme Court case filed by Atheist Madalyn Murray, which removed coercive, unison prayer and Bible verse recitation from the public schools.

Since then, American Atheists has labored in the courts, on the picket line, and in all areas of the public square to secure rights for Atheists and protect the "wall of separation" between government and religious institutions. We have three primary goals.

1. TO SECURE OUR FREEDOM FROM RELIGION

2. TO LABOR FOR, IN ALL LAWFUL WAYS, THE COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

3. TO DEFEND THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF ATHEISTS.
