It's easy, when you feel uncomfortable, or when pressed, just tell them that you don't believe. Nothing to justify, nothing to prove, you just don't believe. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Any objection can be handled by stating that you find the argument less than compelling. If they insist on sending you inspirational material make inspired paper mache masks out of it. Makes good bird cage lining...and my personal favorite...I work it into compost..lol.

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!
