Over the last three weeks I’ve been hammering home the importance of identifying as an atheist on your records. Most atheists in the military are still under the false impression that it’s not allowed. Most of us were told that “No Religious Preference” is all we can get. That hasn’t been true for at least a …

Surprisingly, 39 percent of Marines in this platoon are nonbelievers
These Marines are stationed at Camp Pendleton. This platoon is in an artillery ground combat unit. Names are withheld. Here is some more information from the source: I didn’t get to ask the two Lieutenants and my other Sgt but I know they are religious. As I stated before there were 7 avowedly open atheists, 1 …

Prosecutor refuses to pursue murder of atheist soldier as hate crime
I don’t have real words for this. This is why we can’t back down, and we can’t fail. If America needs to have this conversation, so be it. Atheists think about and care about all the same shit you do. We ask all the same questions. We just sometimes have a different answer. Spc. Jose …

Coming out as an atheist at Marine Corps League veteran’s group

Atheist
by Justin Griffith
I am the recipient of comments. Sometimes I’ll get a rapid-fire volley from a single person, too impulsive to resist the warm embrace of the ‘submit’ button. Their brains are mid-explosion, possibly their underpants too. Like this: This person says that I need to get out of the military and America. Then he went on for …
