RALEIGH - The cliche notwithstanding, there are atheists in foxholes.

Why can't the xtians, muslims and any other bloody religious groupings keep THEIR "...isms" to THEMSELVES? Shit mankind ...your belief system is a personal thing. I would postulate that of the 7 billion persons on the planet there are 7 billion versions of religious / non-religious belief, no two exactly the same.

Why don't they all follow orders, and do fuck-all against them?

My fiancées younger brother, an atheist, served 2 tours in Iraq & 1 in Afghanistan. I know towards the end he was a sniper of some kind & has apparently killed more people than he cares to think about. He wasn't exactly stable when he went in & now has a pretty nasty case of PTSD.
