A nonprofit dedicated to promoting religious freedom has had its Chase Bank account closed without being given a reason, according to the nonprofit’s founder and executive director.

Sam Brownback, founder of the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF), and the Rev. Justin Murff, the NCRF’s executive director, have expressed frustration over what they see as a heavy-handed measure taken with practically no explanation and no recourse for the bank’s former customers.
