The wealthy atheist Todd Stiefel decided to stop any further contributions to American Humanist Association, The Freethought Equality Fund and the Center for Freethought Equality, subsequent to the American Humanist Association's decision to publicly strip Richard Dawkins of his 1996 Humanist of the Year award.<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2021/04/22/idolatry-of-the-atheist-kind-is-just-as-repellent-as-any-other/ Idolatry of the atheist kind is just as repellent as any other] by PZ Myers</ref>

In response, the atheist [[PZ Myers]] wrote: "Wow. He will not support organizations that criticize Richard Dawkins — that is his right, of course, no one is going to compel him to donate to non-Dawkinsite organizations — but it’s still a chilling comment. Is there a loyalty oath or statement of faith attached to any grant from the Stiefel foundation? This is exactly what I never wanted to see happen to atheism, that it become a dogma attached to a figurehead, no matter who it is. The details of that letter are ill-thought out, too."{<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2021/04/22/idolatry-of-the-atheist-kind-is-just-as-repellent-as-any-other/ Idolatry of the atheist kind is just as repellent as any other] by PZ Myers</ref>
