Line 409: − − ===The Freedom From Atheism Foundation (FFAF)=== − − In 2012, the Freedom From Atheism Foundation (FFAF) http://www.facebook.com/FFAF.International was formed as an online interfaith civil rights group to provide support for victims of militant atheism, protect the rights of religious believers, and address the increasing amount of atheist intolerance around the world. As of July 2014 the group has over 220,000 followers and makes an average of 80 posts a week. Along with tens of thousands of religious supporters, the group also found support from atheist author and biologist PZ Myers.<ref>Myers, P. Z. (May 9, 2014).

Retrieved on July 23, 2014.</ref> The group's many admins are all anonymous due to the large amount of hate mail, threats, and stalking the site receives from militant atheists. A May 2014 article in The Christian Post titled "Freedom From Religion? How About Freedom From Atheism?" profiled the Freedom From Atheism Foundation in greater detail. <ref>Dobbins, Mike (May 8, 2014).
