Military Association of Atheists & Freethinkers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers is an independent 501(c)(3) project of the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs. It is organized as a community support network with the goal of connecting atheist and freethinking personnel of the U.S. military with each other and with local organizations.

In addition to community services, MAAF educates and trains both the military and civilian community about atheism in the military. It undertakes to identify, examine, and respond to insensitive practices that illegally promote religion over non-religion or unethically discriminate against minority religions and differing beliefs. MAAF supports constitutional separation of church and state and First Amendment rights for all service members. MAAF also coordinates with other national organizations who hold similar values.
