An Italian atheist, Luigi Cascioli, sued a parish priest named Righi under an interesting Italian Law. Essentially, what was up in the air was the existence of Jesus. Cascioli accused Righi of intentionally defrauding people with the myth of Christ.
Here is a key piece from the original lawsuit, from 2002:
According to article 661 of the Italian Penal Code, there is an abuse of popular credulity when someone, by means of fraud, deceives a great number of people. In this particular case, the ministers of religion of the Catholic Church, like Righi in the present case, by committing historical falsity, therefore presenting invented facts as if true and actually occurred – but useful to religious doctrine – they deceive all the people that come into contact with the teachings of such religion, by inducing them to believe in that religion, not on the basis of purely theological reasoning (totally legitimate and admissible), but on the basis of a deceptive representation of the facts.
Absolutely brilliant. Cascioli, the man who sued the priest Righi, deserves a damn medal.
Sadly, the judge threw the case out. Cascioli is now considering bringing his case to the European Court of Human Rights.
