Erwin Fischer Prize
The Erwin Fischer Prize was awarded in 1998 by the International Association of Non-Denominational and Atheists (IBKA) in memory of its advisory board member Erwin Fischer and was first awarded in 2000.
The prize should - as a rule every two years - be awarded to people “ who have made outstanding contributions to freedom of ideology , separation of state and church , promotion of rational thinking and education about the nature, function, structures and claims to power of religions . "
The award was discontinued after new facts about Erwin Fischer's relationship to National Socialism became known in 2007.
The IBKA has been awarding the IBKA Prize since 2008 .
