Tax exempt status for atheist groups

Religious types are always telling us that atheism is just another religion with its own set of faith-based beliefs. LOL...
So does anyone know of any atheist group that has tax exempt status in the US? Every religion has it, even the Scientologists manage to swing it from time to time. So what about the atheists?
Just wondering.

Dude,
If you consider The Brights to be an atheist org, then yes, I do believe they have tax exempt status.

I wish I knew what faith based beliefs I held.
Gosh, I sure wish someone would send me a pamphlet and fill me in!

It's a charity, not a religion.
I applied for tax-exempt status for The Church of the Giant F*****g Invisible Intangible Spider In My Backyard, but I was missing 2 or 3 of the requirements. My Bible is only half-finished, and I haven't kept very good records of my ordinations.

But is it tax exempt? I thought that's what the Dude was asking....
