For atheists with a knowledge of the history of atheism in America, the name Madalyn Murray O’Hair is not unknown. She was the founder of American Atheists and served as their president from 1963 to 1986. She launched American Atheist Magazine. She was also responsible for Murray v. Curlett, eventually merged with Abington School District v. Schempp, which struck down laws requiring Bible readings in public schools.
She was also murdered by a former employee for reasons that had nothing to do with her outspoken
nature.
