An atheist charitable organization has announced its intention to support a Baptist organization over the group's support for church and state separation.

Foundation Beyond Belief recently named the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty a beneficiary for the second quarter of 2014.

Dale McGowan, executive director for Foundation Beyond Belief, explained to The Christian Post how the Baptist Joint Committee received the honor.

"To qualify, a nominee must work for the common good - i.e. not just for those who share its worldview - and must not proselytize," said McGowan, regarding the specific category the Baptist Joint Committee was honored in.
