Who we are

The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers an independent 501(c)3 project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs. MAAF is a community support network that connects military members from around the world with each other and with local organizations. In addition to our community services, we take action to educate and train both the military and civilian community about atheism in the military and the issues that face us. Where necessary, MAAF identifies, examines, and responds to insensitive practices that illegally promote religion over non-religion within the military or unethically discriminate against minority religions or differing beliefs. MAAF supports Constitutional State-Church Separation and 1st Amendment rights for all service members. We also coordinate with other national organizations who hold the same values.

MAAF is open to all personnel regardless of affiliation. Free membership is extended to personnel on active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, retirees, and veterans from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Cadets and recruits qualify upon induction into service and successful completion of 90 days in service. Service members who have left the service prior to retirement must have received an Honorable or General Discharge, but exceptions can be made by the council on a case-by-case basis. While the issues and discussions on MAAF tend to center around issues particular to the American Constitution and United States policies, we welcome atheists and freethinking service members from any of the world/'s armed forces. The military family is also welcome. We understand that the military lifestyle affects more than just service members. Spouses of service members who qualify for membership and their minor dependents are eligible for free membership. Again, those who do not qualify for free membership are welcome and asked to donate to the organization to support membership materials, marketing, web maintenance, and other support and administrative costs. We especially encourage those DoD Civilians that work so closely with us to join.
