After years of trying to get the military to formally recognize and support atheist groups equally, an answer may be forthcoming. It’s a no-brainer from a legal standpoint. Establishment Clause, EEO, Limited Public Forum… pick your poison. Unfortunately, it really could go either way – potentially begging a massive lawsuit. I have it on good …

An Atheist’s Speech for Christians (Todd Stiefel at Fort Bragg)
Todd Stiefel is an influential philanthropist who funds an astounding number of innovative atheist upstart projects. He also has decades of business experience, giving him that rare quality-control that our movement needs. We’re forever in debt to him for giving us a chance at the first Rock Beyond Belief. Todd is also an excellent public …

Protest the Fort Bragg area pastor who says “punch your gay child”
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

Anti-gay marriage legislation directly affects straight couples
On September 20, 2011 Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was officially repealed.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
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
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!?
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
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 …
