I’m going to church on Sunday. This church: Priscilla, the new leader of the Military Atheists & Secular Humanists at Fort Bragg (MASH Fort Bragg) secured a permit for all of us to protest outside this awful man’s church. Several religious groups are on board. I think the local Humanist organization, CNCAH is bringing out [...]

Goodnight, MASH Fort Bragg
April 30th, 2012
Justin Griffith I am so proud of all of you. Thanks for sticking in there and being the example to all the other MASH groups that are sprouting up. It’s up to you now. I’m leaving – I’m a recruiter now – hooray! Effective immediately, I’m quitting this group. I love you all (in god’s gay way) [...]
Anti-gay marriage legislation directly affects straight couples
April 27th, 2012
Priscilla On September 20, 2011 Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was officially repealed. This was a huge victory for all the soldiers, organizations, politicians, and citizens that put their time and effort into combating DADT. Obviously, the LGBT rights issue is far from settled in the military. But here at Fort Bragg, N.C. we’ve got a special [...]
Off the record, Sgt. Griffith is doing the work of Satan
April 23rd, 2012
Justin Griffith Enough time has passed that I can share this bizarre little story. A powerful chaplain refused to speak to the press about RBB, citing an unverified order from above. He just couldn’t help himself from saying something. A documentary is in post-production right now about the lead up to RBB, keep an eye out. Scott [...]
Two marriage proposals at the Fort Bragg atheist festival
April 11th, 2012
Justin Griffith Just before the camera started rolling, I started the set up: “The best part of any YouTube debate is always a Q & A session. It’s a bit more intimate, and honest discussion starts happening. So let’s get a mix-mic out there, for some Q & A” Congratulations to the Riddlehoovers! That’s enough Q & [...]
FastSigns initially refused to print THIS atheist sign!?
March 29th, 2012
Justin Griffith A local FastSigns store refused to print this sign: Yeah. Nothing in there attacking religion at all. It’s simply ‘atheist’. That one word. What the hell? They eventually changed their minds, after my team member fired off an angry response to this: From: FASTSIGNS 243 Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:04 AM Subject: MASH banner [...]
Vet drives to Bragg after his court hearing, arrested for atheist activism
March 29th, 2012
Justin Griffith I’ve previously posted about the strange proselytism that John Kieffer endured at Fort Bragg in the 1970′s. Mandatory ‘born again’ day, he called it. Sounds familiar. Well, John is driving back up to Fort Bragg for Saturday’s groundbreaking atheist festival. But he has one thing to do before he can be on his way. He [...]
Christians should eat free food with Fort Bragg atheists on Saturday
March 29th, 2012
Justin Griffith Todd Stiefel takes an unconventional approach to philanthropy. He put up the $50,000 at American Atheists that made our festival possible via his Stiefel Freethought Foundation.That represents 100% of the funding. Last week, we were discussing ways to soften the blow that many Christians feel we are inflicting. We’re not attacking them at all, but it’s [...]
This map of our festival’s layout is freaking certain people out
March 28th, 2012
Justin Griffith Can you spot who? Hint: it’s the ‘building’ that looks like Macaulay Culkin. Jason Torpy from MAAF just sent me this. I laughed like a bastard. He said it was in response to the deafening silence coming from the chaplaincy at Fort Bragg. Not a single one at Fort Bragg seems to want to speak [...]
