“There are no Atheists in foxholes!”
It’s a claim that is repeatedly made by many politicians, media pundits and especially preachers. But is it true?
No!
There ARE in fact many “Atheists in foxholes” who have served and are serving our country proudly, in all branches of the armed forces. In fact, nearly thirty million Americans do not profess a religious belief. This group includes many people who describe themselves as Atheists, Freethinkers, Secular Humanists or with other appellations.
Isn’t it time that we acknowledged and saluted them?
That is what the “Atheists in Foxholes” event is all about! It is an opportunity for these many men and women to make a proud statement that they, too, are serving their country. It is also an event where the rest of us — including our political and military leaders — can recognize and honor these “Atheists in Foxholes.”
