Madalyn Murray O'Hair (April 13, 1919 – September 29, 1995) was an American who founded American Atheists, and campaigned for the separation of church and state. She was murdered at age 76.
She founded American Atheists, "a nationwide movement which defends the civil rights of non-believers, works for the separation of church and state, and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy." She acted as its first CEO before later handing that office on to her son Jon Garth.
