The Friendly Atheist notes MRFF’s 2019 victory barring official military emblems on Bible verse dog tags in: “Bowing to religious pressure, West Point will rebrand bibles with academy’s crest”
You may recall a similar controversy occurred in 2019 when a private company sold replica dog tags that had the military branches’ logos on one side and a Bible verse on the other. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) filed complaints saying Pentagon policy prohibited trademarked logos from being used to promote religious (or non-religious) beliefs, and the company was forced to stop selling the merch. (They later filed a lawsuit over that.)
As MRFF’s Mikey Weinstein told me in a statement, “This is an abhorrent, wretched decision that only buttresses fundamentalist, Christian Nationalist, triumphalism, and unconstitutional brutality.”
