the Bible in the Air Force

Dear Mikey:

You sorry little sack of shit! Our men and women fight and die to give us the right to practice our religion wherever we want but you and other dicks want to take away that freedom. You need to read the Bill of Rights it says freedom OF Religion not freedom from Religion. How does it hurt anyone if our men and women in uniform want to read a Bible, it doesn’t you just want to trample on the rights of Christians. I haven’t heard you bitch about Soldiers being able to wear Muslim Scarves, why not, because like other pricks you only want to persecute Christians. Persecution is proof that Christ is right and he scares the crap out of idiots like you. You can’t run and hide.

Dear (name withheld),

MRFF’s main mission is to help guarantee religious freedom for each and every member of the armed forces including freedom from religious hegemony.

There are many religions and non-religion in the military but for some time ranking operatives from a militant Christian group called “Dominion Christians,” has been infiltrating the armed forces and conducting command centered and coercive Christian based proselytizing.

In Lemon Vs. Kurzman (1971) the US Supreme Court ruled that No agency or branch of Government, including Public Education and the Armed Forces may favor, recommend or advance one religion over another or religion over non-religion.

We are currently addressing over 36,000 complaints from our young men and women in all branches of the military as to their being exposed to such proselytizing. Over 96% of these complainants are self identified Christians.

MRFF only intercedes when military members are subject to such unwelcome proselytizing especially from superiors.

You appear to be somewhat extreme and judgmental not to mention abusive. It is exactly your type to which MRFF must remain alert.
