Spiritual Fitness: “Chaplains are advocates for everyone”

The above image is part of that mandatory Spiritual Fitness training you (yes, you) can help us debunk! Participate in that survey to help scientists help foxhole atheists. We are still banned on post because of a single sentence in the Chaplain regulations (AR 165-1) “DFGLs will not conduct services before approval by the IMCOM or MEDCOM Command [...]

Rapture Ready cockroaches pray that the foxhole atheist festival is cancelled

No apocalyptic doomsayer has ever been correct about doomsayings. It seems that a failed end-times prophecy should logically teach adherents a valuable lesson in gullibility (a word that emphatically is in the dictionary, but unfortunately spelled incorrectly in many dictionaries.) You’ve heard the saying about cockroaches surviving even a nuclear world war? Well, much like cockroaches, the [...]

Army medic “has seen Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in action…Frankly, I’ll pass.”

Mikey Weinstein, President of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, shared something with me today. He shared a report in USA Today that  speaks about the statistical trend away from traditional religious identities. MRFF is an important – albeit religiously neutral - ally to the secular community and fierce defender of the US Constitution. But Mikey saw something that he [...]

Shitfaced in the Portal Potty

I’ve been deployed to the sandbox for several months. So I made this: What do you think about my Portal Potty? Don’t get the joke? You must not have played the science and physics-based video game Portal (or it’s incredible sequel – what an ending!) That’s okay, you don’t have to play it to get [...]

The single best video ever made about foxhole atheists (possibly NSFW)

This is that rare combination of well-informed reporting and genuinely funny brash sarcasm. Raleigh-based A-News is the DIY equivalent to the Daily Show / Colbert Report for atheists. I have no idea why this show isn’t already massively popular. This entire episode is dedicated to the recently reinvigorated struggle for acceptance by foxhole atheists. Is [...]

Atheist singers wanted for National Anthem on a large military base

Can you sing? Do you want to support the troops with your voice? Are you free on March 31st, 2012? My awesome production manager, Chip Matthews, just sent me this. “Seeking vocal artists for an a capella group rendering of the  National Anthem. Please have experience singing in a group without musical accompaniment. Auditions will be [...]

Foxhole Atheists are fighting for your rights, please return the favor.

Justin Griffith

Pleased to meet you, FTB! I’m a foxhole atheist. Though I do not speak on behalf of the DoD in any way, I am an active duty Sergeant in the U.S. Army, currently deployed. We are the last untapped demographic in the Out Campaign. The negative stereotypes, myths, and misunderstandings that are universally applied to [...]

Military Atheists fight for your rights, please return the favor

I’ve got a special project coming up that requires a few pictures of *very* out foxhole atheists. Candidates need to be willing to appear on a patriotic poster, potentially to be hung in a government building.

There are only atheists in foxholes.

there are only atheists in foxholes - J. Anderson Thomson

Maybe there are only atheists in foxholes. If the faithful truly and fully believe in a protective deity, why would they dive into a foxhole to protect themseleves from the bullets whizzing by? A part of their brain knows damn well that if they do not protect themselves, the bullets will hardly discriminate between those who claim faith and those who reject it.

Local groups like MASH are the way forward for permanent change

Military Atheist Thinking Soldier, scholar statue

Military Atheists & Secular Humanists have been absolutely kicking ass at Fort Bragg. This is despite still being officially banned from meeting on post by Army regulations.
