Here is a brave soldier who wants to lead troops into harm’s way.

I heard one woman say she found it easier to come out as a lesbian than an atheist as so many people assume atheists are bad people.

I see no reason why an atheist is unable to comfort his/her troops. As Raj Bender from This Hour has 22 minutes (on Canadian T.V.) would say: I would like to thank all 432 gods and goddesses for my success here today!

All joking aside, our troops need compassion from us and from each other. Compassion is independent of belief. Our govt. should not be in the business of compelling people’s conscience. That is both illegal and immoral.
