Army approves atheism-themed concert at Fort Bragg
Finally! Clap Who says letter writing in a concerted effort doesn't work? Hell, stalwart determination garnered fallen Wiccan service personnel the right to have a pentacle on their tomb stones. Now this! Oppressed minorities have every right to break their chains.

Even when it's to music. Wink

Army approves atheism-themed concert at Fort Bragg
By TOM BREEN , 08.08.11,



RALEIGH, N.C. -- A concert event organized by atheist, agnostic and other non-theist soldiers has been cleared by the Army to take place next spring at Fort Bragg, concert organizers and a spokesman for the post said Monday.

Organizers planned to hold the Rock Beyond Belief event this year, but they canceled after saying Bragg leadership was not providing the same support it gave to an evangelical Christian concert last fall.
