Elitism and bigotry in the ranks was worthy of comment. The old lie, there are no atheists in fox holes, was a comment that dismissed atheists who fought and died for this country and continue to do so today. Serving in a military where it's largely implied it is a Christian military. Just as wrong as those who say outright this is a Christian nation.
So while it is sad that this is worthy of comment, because atheists had to fight and hope to get equal time for a concert after Evangelicals worried not one bit about their privilege to schedule a concert, it's now a matter of overcoming one more hurdle in this nation that's said to be a "free" country, while everyone who wasn't white, male and rich at her inception has had to fight to be free for 235 years and counting.
