A lawsuit is an action or proceeding in a Civil Court. This term is used for a suit or action between two private parties in a court of law.
Specifically, a lawsuit is a legal action started by a plaintiff against a defendant based on a complaint that the defendant failed to perform a legal duty which resulted in harm to the plaintiff.
Atheist, lawsuits and restrictions to religious freedom
See also: Atheist lawsuits
Atheist organizations in the Western World are litigious. Often they use ligitation to restrict the degree of religious freedom in a society.
The Freedom From Atheism Foundation has a webpage on their website entitled "Ongoing Lawsuits".[1] The American Atheists has a webpage on their website entitled "Legal sucesses".[2] The Center for Inquiry engaged in lawsuits related to faith based initiatives concerning prison ministry.[3][4][5][6]
In June 2014, given the focus of atheist organizations on lawsuits, Sikivu Hutchinson wrote in the Washington Post that atheist organizations generally focus on church/state separation and creationism issues and not the concerns the less affluent African-American population faces.[7] Hutchinson also mentioned that church organizations do offer significant help to poor African-Americans.[7] See also: Atheism and charity and Western atheism and race
