   Atheists don't like it that atheism has been deemed a religion   
   either.   
      
   On August 16, 2013, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held   
   for the second time that a prisoner’s request to form an atheist   
   study group must be given the same consideration as other   
   religious study groups.   
      
   Wisconsin prisoner James J. Kaufman, an atheist, asked to form a   
   study group dedicated to atheism. Prison officials denied his   
   request as one seeking to establish a nonreligious activity   
   group. He then filed suit in federal court.   
      
   In 2005, the Seventh Circuit held that prison officials had   
   violated Kaufman’s First Amendment rights by refusing his   
   request to create a religious study group dedicated to atheism   
   while allowing other religious study groups. See: Kaufman v.   
   McCaughtry, 419 F.3d 678 (7th Cir. 2005) (Kaufman I).
