No Dominion: The Lonely, Dangerous Fight Against Christian Supremacists Inside the Armed Forces

Dear Mr. Weinstein:
I just read the article “No Dominion: The Lonely, Dangerous Fight Against Christian Supremacists Inside the Armed Forces” on the Truthout website. I have to admit that I feel extremely angry and disgusted with those un-American Christian fundamentalists who seem to have way too much power and influence in our Armed Services. After reading about what you and your boys went through for simply being Jewish is nauseating. These Christian Dominionists have been and continue to subvert the Enlightenment values our nation was founded upon with their illegal religious proselytizing. Such zealotry has no place in our Armed Services which were established to defend and protect the Constitution and Bill of Rights for every American citizen. I hope that you and the MRFF continue this important struggle for the secular rule of law against these forces of dogmatic enslavement. Our strength as a nation is found in our diversity and in our freedom of conscience. These values make us an exceptional nation in a world of dogmatic religious conflict and you and the MRFF are fighting to preserve and protect these uniquely American values. So I want to thank you, your family and the MRFF for doing what is necessary to uphold and protect the Constitution and Bill of Rights within our military and for our whole nation. Your service to our nation is beyond measure and should be supported by every patriotic citizen who values freedom and justice.
May you have continued success in this epic battle for America’s values & ideals,

The essence of the liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment. This is the way opinions are held in science, as opposed to the way in which they are held in theology.
