2012 Report on Discrimination Against Atheists, Humanists and the Non-Religious
On August 8, 2012, the American Humanist Association for the second time met with the U.S. Department of State’s Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) in Washington DC, joined by colleagues at the Center for Inquiry, International Humanist and Ethical Union, Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, and the Secular Coalition for America. In attendance were Ambassador-at-Large Suzan Johnson Cook and several team leaders from the IRF office. Our organizations presented a report on atheist discrimination abroad, and asked that these cases be highlighted in the IRF’s Annual Report next year. To read the report, click here.

The American Humanist Association (AHA) works to protect the rights of Humanists, atheists, and other nontheistic Americans. The AHA advances the ethical and life-affirming worldview of Humanism, which—without beliefs in gods or other supernatural forces—encourages individuals to live informed and meaningful lives that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
