Quote:I given this a bit of thought and I can't seem to put my finger on why this guy is so into creating a chaplain service for Atheists and creating groups for other "freethinkers" to join.
I agree with you. On the surface it seems counter-productive if not downright asinine. Is it possible that it is something to do with the military bureaucracy specifically? You know, you have to be a "chaplain" to be recognized as a religious group for some specific reason?
For the life of me, I can't imagine what an atheist "chaplain" would say.
