Dear Mr. Weinstein:

I wonder about your theology.  The American flag is not a religious symbol; the American Constitution is not scripture; patriotism is not a religious faith.  As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps I voluntarily served out of love for the United States and what it stands for.  Never once did I or my fellow Marines exchange our religious belief, or none belief, for the secular theology which you proclaim.  Our flag and Constitution are to be loved and respected.  Patriotism is a virtue.  However, none of the three should ever be considered elements of faith and worship…that is false religion.

Also,  just in passing , don’t try to disguise your personal “anti” philosophy by draping it in the noble sounding phrases of protecting the religious beliefs and freedoms of the military.  We know better, don’t we?
