Remembrance Day - An Atheist in a Foxhole

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Short post on the British Rationalist Association webpage from an atheist British solider serving in Afghan. It describes the memorial that is held before a comrade's body is shipped back to be repatriated.

I found it pretty emotive, especially as I know a few guys over there who are also atheists. It gives a small insight as to what some of them might be thinking, especially the ending paragraph.
