American Atheists fights for the rights of atheists, to end religious privilege in our nation’s laws, and to protect equality under the law. We track legislation, propose bills, and provide resources to help Americans advocate for better policies in their communities, in their states, and in Washington DC.

Why Our Work Matters
We shine a light on the discrimination faced by atheists in our society and work to end stigma against our community.
We work with our partners on a wide range of issues that impact the lives of every American in all 50 states. We organize with grassroots advocates and community leaders in neighborhoods, cities, and states all across the country, and encourage atheists to get involved at every level of government to protect our nation from the unprecedented threat posed by Christian Nationalism.
We work with elected officials and policymakers to ensure that laws protect the fundamental right to separation of religion from government enshrined in the First Amendment and to give a voice to the millions of atheists in our nation who too often go unheard.
