Nonprofit groups that promote atheism are taking steps to expand their supporters, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Groups such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation, in Madison, Wis., are sponsoring billboards with messages like “Beware of Dogma” in different states, and the Secular Coalition for America, in Washington, recently hired a congressional lobbyist.

Organizers say they are trying to make the public more comfortable with atheism and are mobilizing to repair what they view as breaches of the wall between church and state — such as federal support for religious charities.
