MATLAB crashes on startup or when using "cftool" with AMD®/ATI® graphics cards

MATLAB R2014b crashes upon start in my computer.  The same crash occurs when I bring up the "cftool" in MATLAB R2013b and R2014a.

My computer is using an AMD®/ATI® graphics cards with OpenGL driver version 12.  

Why is this happening?

Below is the crash log MATLAB creates:
