Army Reg 680-29 proof you can select ATHEIST

Another foxhole atheist given “No-Rel-Pref” against her will

Sergeant Justin Griffith's Dog Tags - Atheist / FSM

I’ve written previously about my difficulty getting both my dog tags and my Enlisted Records Brief to accurately reflect ‘ATHEIST’. Some of the story is kind of funny and even eventually made it on the Flying Spaghetti Monster website. My corrected dogtags even made it on Wikipedia! NO-REL-PREF makes you a target for proselytism (even …
