Freedom from Religion Foundation

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is a nonprofit organization established in 1976, dedicated to promoting the separation of church and state. It focuses on educating the public about atheism, agnosticism, and skepticism while upholding the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause. FFRF engages in legal challenges against religious expressions in public institutions and provides legal assistance, educational materials, and advocacy for strict church-state separation.

FFRF offers a variety of services, including publishing *Freethought Today*, sponsoring student essay contests, and hosting national conventions. The organization maintains a Strategic Response Team and issues legislative action alerts. It also awards public figures who advocate for secularism and produces educational resources. Operating from Freethought Hall in Madison, Wisconsin, FFRF supports initiatives like The Clergy Project and the Secular Student Alliance, and it has created Nonbelief Relief to address humanitarian needs. FFRF serves atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and those committed to church-state separation, fostering a community focused on secularism and freedom from religious influence in public life.
