Military Religious Freedom Foundation

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is a watchdog group and advocacy organization founded in 2005 by Michael Weinstein. The group's stated goals are to "ensure that members of the United States Armed Forces receive the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom to which they are entitled by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment."

Weinstein describes the group's target as "a small subset of Fundamentalist Christianity that's called premilliennial, dispensational, reconstructionist, dominionist, fundamentalist, or just Dominionist Christianity."

Background

The organization was founded by Michael Weinstein in 2005 for the purpose of opposing the spread of alleged religious intimidation by Christians in positions of power within the US military. Weinstein stated that he experienced discrimination due to his Jewish faith while a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy. After his sons were also reported to have experienced discrimination as well while at the Academy, Weinstein founded the MRFF in 2005.
