Does atheist jeopardize church-state separation?

He is the most famous—and perhaps the loneliest—atheist in the
country. For 14 years, Michael Newdow, an emergency room doctor and an
attorney, has challenged what he sees as violations of the First
Amendment's prohibition against governmental endorsement and support of
organized religion—the so-called church-state separation clause.

Newdow
works alone from his Sacramento, California, home. His only tools are a
computer, a printer and a razor-sharp sense of injustice. He has sued
to have "In God We Trust" removed from U.S. currency, to bar prayer at
presidential inaugurations and most famously—or infamously—to strike the
phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.

To date, Newdow has never won a single case. Yet he remains undeterred.
