Every Christmas, I try to break down barriers on a face to face level. It’s all about increasing respect, visibility, and acceptance of atheists in the military community. I’ll always volunteer for the 24 hour staff-duty shift, that some poor bastard always gets stuck with. The staff duty job is assigned on a rotational basis, 365 …

This is a before and after shot documenting the rapid changes the commanders at Travis Air Force Base are implementing. I made Dan Rawlings’ quite legitimate ‘Let there be light…’ complaint public on Wednesday morning. The picture at the bottom represents Wednesday night. Click to embiggen. Foxhole atheists are demanding equality at every step. This …

The sign says “Have a safe holiday season”. But you’d think it said “I toss Christians into the Sun”, judging from the butt hurt coming out of this self identified ‘agnostic’ also stationed at Travis AFB (verified) who hated the signs. “I think it’s more than a bit funny that you **NEED** christianity in order to define your faith …

Once again, Fort Bragg area Craigslist weirdos provide hilarious blog fodder. Last time, we were all accused of being ‘absconding interlopers’ by a five time violent felon. Good times. This week’s adventure brings us no closer to sanity. Artificial CHRISTmas Tree *** Curb Alert Christmas tree is sitting by the road – Trash man comes around …

Apparently, there is a tradition involving a raffle with an interesting prize: first person off the ship! Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta, an ‘out’ lesbian, won the raffle shortly before returning from 80 days at sea on Wednesday. (Brian J. Clark/The Virginian-Pilot/AP) This photograph captured an amazing moment at the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek …

The National Guard is advertising on a foxhole atheists ‘online blog’! These advertisements come from a large ad serving company, obviously. If you know how web advertising works, this is not as ‘cool’ as it sounds. So forgive me for building up this molehill. This is like the time I saw Military Intelligence jobs being …

This is an excerpt from a very funny atheist Army veteran. I had no idea that many Mormons use/used the military as a way to learn languages for their missionary work. It makes sense. Late in her career, she describes being harassed simply for being pregnant or a woman, etc. The harassers were the same religious people who spent …

This happened sometime before dawn, and is the second definitive act of vandalism. A piece of paper was scotch taped to the sign that said “GOD LOVES YOU”. In case this had to be said, this was not part of the sign. At least the vandals did not do permanent damage, but this is troubling …

Fresh off of being vandalized, the officials at Travis Air Force Base secure the lighting for the atheist sign. Sounds good right? Well like many parts of the story, it’s once again 2 steps forward, one step back. Progress, but seriously… what the hell? They took down his 120 watt bulb, and replaced it with …
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
UPDATE: A second festival is in the works for Camp Pendleton - a large Marine Corps base near San Diego, CA. Summer 2013
