Despite existing legal protections for atheists, members of our community still face discrimination in many areas of our lives. No one should lose their job, be denied services, or be treated differently simply because of their beliefs.
If you believe you’ve been discriminated against because you’re an atheist, please get in touch.
Discrimination often happens in the places that matter most: at work, in the classroom, and at the doctor’s office. If you have been treated unfairly because of your non-religious identity, American Atheists is here to help you navigate the system and fight back.
Navigating the legal landscape to understand your rights — and when those rights have been violated — can be confusing. We’re here to help.
Ending discrimination against our community takes more than just passing laws. We have to enforce the ones we already have, end exemptions and close loopholes, and shine a light on the type of bigotry we face.
Bureaucracy shouldn’t be a barrier to justice. We help atheists file formal complaints with federal, state, and local agencies — or with professional licensing bodies — to ensure your concerns are heard and addressed.
You don’t have to face discrimination alone. We provide the resources, guidance, and strategic support needed to challenge discrimination where it happens — and make sure you have the tools you need to move forward.
We work directly with state and federal civil rights offices, employers and human resources groups, school administrators, medical providers, and others to help them recognize and stop anti-atheist discrimination.
When we see anti-atheist discrimination on the rise, it’s important to sound the alarm and ensure we’re ready to confront it. That’s why it’s so important for you to report discrimination you face, even if you don’t want to take any formal action.
Even if you don’t want to take formal action, your report helps us track trends in discrimination and determine how we can provide the most effective support for our community.
