Die FFRF 1976 wurde von [[Anne Nicol Gaylor]] und [[Annie Laurie Gaylor]] gegründet. Letztere teilt sich mit [[Dan Barker]] die Präsidentschaft. Mittlerweile verzeichnet die FFRF über 12.000 Mitglieder. Sitz ist [[Madison (Wisconsin)|Madison]], [[Wisconsin]]. Mit den Mitgliedsbeiträgen werden bspw. Prozesse unterstützt, die die Rechte von Atheisten stärken sowie die Trennung von Religion und Staat stützen. Zu den Unterstützern zählen [[Christopher Hitchens]], [[Katha Pollitt]], [[Julia Sweeney]], [[Ellery Schempp]] und [[Matthew LaClair]]. Die Schauspielerin [[Butterfly McQueen]] war nach Angaben des „Humanistischen Pressedienstes“ jahrzehntelang Mitglied der Freedom From Religion Foundation und bedachte die Vereinigung in ihrem Testament.<ref>Humanistischer Pressedienst (hpd): [https://hpd.de/node/3528 Gedenktag 7. Januar 1911 Butterfly McQueen]</ref>

=== Emperor Has No Clothes Award ===
Die Foundation vergibt seit 1999 den ''Emperor Has No Clothes Award'' (Der-Kaiser-hat-keine-Kleider-Preis) für nach Ansicht des Vereines „klare Sprache in Bezug auf Mängel der Religionen“ (''“plain speaking” on the shortcomings of religion''). Der Name des Preises bezieht sich auf das Märchen [[Des Kaisers neue Kleider]] von [[Hans Christian Andersen]], das Leichtgläubigkeit und die unkritische Akzeptanz von Autoritäten kritisiert.
