I received a few complaints about soldiers stationed at Fort Gordon, GA being forced to clean up an off-post Catholic property during the duty day. One was from a fellow foxhole atheist. (NAME / RANK WITHHELD) Justin – Got a question. [WITHHELD], has been tasks with cleaning/landscaping etc, a Catholic Church. This so far is …

Martin Wagner over at the Atheist Experience blog lashed out at American Atheists (AA).

… Seriously. The “Pray for our troops” ribbons, stickers, and magnets have only proven to help the makers of ribbons, stickers, and magnets. For the same price, you can just buy one of us a beer. I showed a few (religious) soldiers this today. Typical reply: “Hell yeah!” We already have armor and technology to …
