Might makes right doesn't exactly mesh with human rights. So yeah, I doubt it's working - but that really doesn't matter in the end. -Something's- working.
You'll have to forgive this suggestion...but don't you think that it might be wise to hinge all of those wonderful things you mentioned at the end on something...I don't know..hell, something that really happened? Something that requires no faith (so no faith could be lost, not even a possibility - leading to all the nasty shit you mentioned a couple of posts back?) There's no shortage, you know? Particularly, rather than being in the position of saying "even if it was all bullshit" - you see...you realize that you don't actually need god for any of this, that's made explicitly clear in your statements. You'd still do what you do, you'd still be who you are right now.
(It was anti-theism that I didn't find useful in the capacity of making me a better person, in my last post Hez...and I say that as an anti-theist. Now that you've explained how christianity is working for you...yeah, I suppose it doesn't seem all that clear to me that christianity is working for you.)

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!
