...And America comes third.

Religious freedom is being kicked in the teeth by "God-fearing" religionists.
Iguess they just don't understand the history of 'established' religions. They just don't work.

From Crooks and Liars
This is not a joke. The Pentagon has been infiltrated by the Roy Moore wing of the Republican party—or the Christianists. How many of you have ever heard of the Christian Embassy? I've talked about the Evangelical Right and the Air Force many times before, but this video is truly disturbing. I'm not against religion at all, but not in this context. Lambert brought this story and video to my attention.

Les Enragés: High-ranking officers in the Pentagon are routinely violating regulations by proselytizing in uniform. Another alarming symptom of the anti-American Faith-based government propagated by the Bush administration and right-wing theocrats.

Evangelical Christian cabal recruiting inside Pentagon

I don't mind if they're religious extremists, I just wish they wouldn't flaunt it.

From Reuters:
A watchdog group that promotes religious freedom in the U.S. military accused senior officers on Monday using their rank and influence to coerce soldiers and airmen into adopting evangelical Christianity.

Such proselytizing, according to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has created a core of "radical" Christians within the U.S. armed forces and Pentagon who punish those who do not accept evangelical beliefs by stalling their careers.
