The Freedom From Atheism Foundation (FFAF) was founded in 2012 as a response to the rising intolerant atheism in the United States and throughout the world. Ever more atheists are becoming militant, cruelly and hatefully disparaging people of faith, while intolerant atheist organizations work tirelessly to restrict religious freedom and promote empty atheism. Additionally, militant state atheism continues to persecute religious believers with little to no media coverage to inform the public of the continuing horrors. No organization existed to address these issues until now.
The FFAF is very active on Facebook, with reach of the page having grown threefold throughout 2014.
The FFAF is run by a number of individuals from a variety of different faiths.
