Sergeant Joshua Gould is a foxhole atheist stationed at Fort Bragg. He wrote to me with two important questions, so I’m breaking them into two posts. Do you have some sort of club? So I have been reading your blog for a while and I went to the Rock Beyond Belief a few months ago. …

The Secular Student Alliance is the best ‘chaptering’ organization in our movement… by an extremely wide margin. The number of active chapters eclipses any other organization. Their numbers still continue to grow, and they even have groups at military academies, such as West Point. When I started the Military Atheists & Secular Humanists (MASH) movement …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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.
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
UPDATE: A second festival is in the works for Camp Pendleton - a large Marine Corps base near San Diego, CA. Summer 2013
