Disgraced chaplain lies, and prays that Rev. Barry Lynn dies
Dishonored ex-chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt was fired from the Navy. His leadership documented him violating regulations about wearing the military uniform to protests and political rallies. It was not about ‘In Jesus Name’, it was about protesting in front of the White House. But Klingenschmitt makes a living lying about his situation. He’s one of those …

Notorious ex-Navy Chaplain blesses Lowes Home Improvement stores
Gordon James Klingenschmitt has previously prayed for Mikey Weinstein and Rev. Barry Lynn to die soon. He recently prayed for Lowes Home Improvement stores to perform well. Click here for the audio recording. *Warning, the first few seconds are intense – turn down the volume. In fact, this transcript is probably safest.* Transcript of Klingenschmitt’s prayer: Let us …

Mikey Weinstein and Barry Lynn are doing something right.
While it’s okay to disagree with people, and it’s okay to seek guidance on how to deal with people that you disagree with… I think this former chaplain has the wrong answer. He invokes a prayer circle to make Mikey Weinstein and Rev. Barry Lynn’s lives worse off, and shorter. He literally wants them to …

Important / FAQs
For Military service members
- How do I fix my official records to say 'ATHEIST'?
In just 5 minutes you can change your records. Walk-throughs provided for all DoD branches. Air Force Navy and Marine Corps can do so online.
- Why should I avoid "NO-REL-PREF" as my religious preference on my official records?
This is a debate-ending reason to fix your records. Also, NRP is just incorrect. Atheists don't have a religion, however, you *do* have a preference about religion.
- How can I avoid saying "So help me god?" and avoid signing contracts with the phrase?
Many service members respectfully refuse, and they are fully within their legal rights to do so. You may face some flack from uninformed superiors, but you will definitely win any challenge they throw at you. Contact me if you need to.
- How one NCO got prayer removed from ceremonies.
Not all service members will have this opportunity but if you are in a position to make a difference, this is a play-by-play of an epic victory.
[Expect this list to grow quite a bit.]
For Civilians
- How can civilians help foxhole atheists?
In as little as 30 seconds you can make a huge difference. Add your phone call or email to a stack of other voices demand justice.
- I like to click on things - can I help?
Yes! Use those sharing buttons, help us spread the word. Join the American Atheists Military facebook group to directly interact with a large number of foxhole atheists. Like the RBB page for blog-post and festival-related discussion.
- How can civilians help to make it safer for service members to be openly atheist?
Show up to Rock Beyond Belief 2 at Camp Pendleton (San Diego, CA).Be a part of history, and stand with us in solidarity in great numbers.
- I hate all of you military thugs, what should I do?
Read this. If you still feel a burning desire to argue with or mock us, please leave your comment in that thread.

The painless way to support Rock Beyond Belief is to 'Like' us on Facebook. It takes 3 seconds. You do support the troops... don't you?
Even more Facepalm
A really awesome Facebook group, American Atheists Military is uniting service members, veterans and supportive civilians. This is where a lot of important issues are first discovered, and brought to light. There is a constant stream of foxhole atheists correcting their dog tags to say 'ATHEIST' and putting them up on the wall. Throw yours up there! No 'anti-war' or 'anarchist' trolling, please.
For those of you wanting to connect directly with Justin Griffith on facebook, there are still a few spots left.
