State Department officials are continuing to refuse House Republican demands for information regarding grants of U.S. tax dollars to advance atheism in foreign countries, according to Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.).

Banks, who is chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), expressed frustration with a lengthy Dec. 1 telephone conference call with Mariah Mercer, an assistant to Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Rashad Hussain.
