Out of free articles. I will say, though, that with respect to secular humanism being a standin for other religions - yeah..and there's even an actual religion of secular humanism. Part of the reason, in my experience, that a christian person (and by extension a christian country) is uncomfortable with atheism is that religious views are ethical and political views, and people tend to be wary when a person rejects their ethical and political views. What will they do? The rejection of christianity is taken to be a rejection of more than just the idea of a god.
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!
