I never met an overtly christian person in a foxhole. Such is the changing face of religious demographics in america. I served with a bunch of nones.
I couldn't tell, from their actions under duress, what they believed...but I can tell you this, if any of my joes abandoned their duties, fell to their knees, and prayed to almighty god to save them....I'd have to explain to them that, for the moment, I was that almighty god...and gods -hate- a coward. So get up, pick your gun up, and point it at the other guy....or just get the fuck on with it, lay down, and die so that the -rest- of us can continue to value our lives without having to carry your sniveling ass to safety. Prayer, on a battlefield, is for the dead and defeated. It serves no other purpose. Jesus might save you from your sins, but he isn't going to save you from arthur when it comes down on your ao. The piles and piles of dead soldiers in the world ought to make that plainly apparent...even to the religious.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
