FFRF regularly files legal actions around the country to maintain a strong stand in protecting religious neutrality by the government and to prevent infringement of civil rights by religious organizations through public institutions, e.g., public schools, legislatures, tax benefits for religious institutes, etc.

FFRF has protected women's rights from its inception. Read founder Anne Gaylor's essay "Tell Jake to sleep on the roof".
