Atheists at Travis Air Force Base have a meaningful community

MASH Travis AFB

I’m extremely comforted that the lessons learned at Fort Bragg’s MASH are contagious. Once you organize, a meaningful community quickly follows. It’s amazing how fast Travis Air Force Base organized into something with tangible accomplishments, like the first ever atheist holiday display on a military base – next to the Nativity Scene and Menorah. USAF …

Visual representation of atheists fighting for equality and winning

lights at Travis

This is a before and after shot documenting the rapid changes the commanders at Travis Air Force Base are implementing. I made Dan Rawlings’ quite legitimate ‘Let there be light…’ complaint public on Wednesday morning. The picture at the bottom represents Wednesday night. Click to embiggen. Foxhole atheists are demanding equality at every step. This …

Agnostic from Travis Air Force Base hates mockery, can’t spell ‘atheist’

lets have a little respect

The sign says “Have a safe holiday season”. But you’d think it said “I toss Christians into the Sun”, judging from the butt hurt coming out of this self identified ‘agnostic’ also stationed at Travis AFB (verified) who hated the signs. “I think it’s more than a bit funny that you **NEED** christianity in order to define your faith …

Travis Air Force Base now ensures uniformed lighting for holiday displays

American Atheists donated the twice-vandalized holiday sign to Staff Sergeant Dan Rawlings and the atheists at Travis MASH. The sign simply says “Have a safe holiday season – from the atheists at Travis MASH”. Rawlings remained in constant contact with me and described each step of his wildly successful efforts for equality. As we mentioned earlier, …

Let there be light, and a lot more of it for baby Jesus

Let there be light, but much more of it for baby jesus

Fresh off of being vandalized, the officials at Travis Air Force Base secure the lighting for the atheist sign. Sounds good right? Well like many parts of the story, it’s once again 2 steps forward, one step back. Progress, but seriously… what the hell? They took down his 120 watt bulb, and replaced it with …

Fort Campbell needs to rapidly respond to the atheists that want to put up a holiday display there. Early reports are stating that this was put up today. This is an absolutely …

Air Force changes mind, atheist holiday display now welcome at Travis AFB

Travis AFB atheists with their shocking message

This display will be going up as early as tomorrow morning at Travis Air Force Base, courtesy of American Atheists. Rawlings says the artwork including images of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is playful. Civilians will probably miss out on the real in-joke here. The entire military has inescapable and seemingly endless ‘safety briefings’. It was pretty hilarious …

Air Force Base denies atheist display, allows Menorah and Nativity Scene

Travis Air Force Base nativity scene and menorah

Travis Air Force base is already under intense scrutiny over these displays that are inappropriate to begin with. The official word so far was that each of the 20 or so displays represented a squadron on base. Apparently this facade implies that an entire squadron is Jewish. And wouldn’t you know it – their display …
