Protection Against the Wiles of Theism
#2
RE: Protection Against the Wiles of Theism
I'll add a third.

People report having had divine experiences.  Brush ins with the gods.  I can see how this would compel them to whatever religion occupied pride of place in their society.  If a person has that experience in Des Moine, they'll likely attribute it to a protestant god.  In Tijuana, a catholic god.  In Tehran, an islamic god.  In Varanasi, a hindu 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!
