Atheist Activists Sue IRS to Strike Down 'Preferential Treatment of Churches'

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist activist non-profit, has a history of advocating for church-state separatism.

The group followed up this legal challenge with yet another lawsuit last Thursday -- one that targets the government's alleged "preferential treatment of churches."
