Don not infringe on my rights to accept a Bible if I want one, if you don't want one respectfully decline. Whatever higher power an atheists believes in is their right and should be supported equally, the one great thing about our military is diversity.

Christians, Jews, and Muslims have one important thing in common; they all can trace their roots to Abraham. Everyone has a free will to believe or not; that is their right. The same with free speech that is anti-military.
If atheists are not worried about their soul or eternal life, that is their choice. At least they are honest where they stand. Christians, Jews, and Muslims need to walk the walk and not tell everyone: do as I say and not as I do.

Similar case here in FL with a school district, because a religious group was allowed to proselytize, all religious entities were allowed to pass out material, including a satanic temple.

It's like one of this situations where a few people do not like something so they want to ruin it for everyone else as if they were making some big executive dicision. Like CPT Wolfer said, you can decline it and that person will go away.

SCPO C.W. Boss, U.S. Coast Guard (Retired) in Arizona says:
Atheists have the right to an opinion, just like all the rest of us. No more… no less. The Constitution allows them that. But in my belief, that’s as far as it goes.
There is no two ways about it, history shows this Great Nation was founded on Christian principles and no matter how much “atheists” and others of their ilk dislike it… it’s fact.
The Constitution was crafted to ensure that the freedoms that our Fore Fathers believed in and removed themselves from their lands and homes in England and Europe for, fought and died to transplant over here so their children, their children’s children and their heirs would be allowed to continue to practice their faith and beliefs and live unfettered in peace practicing whatever that may be, in perpetuity.
The biggest reason the early inhabitants of this country braved the crossing of the Atlantic in those tiny wooden ships and all the other hardships they had to surmount was so that they could freely practice their religion and be out of reach of the Churches, the Kings and others that sought to impose their will on them. Now Atheists are trying to do the same thing all over again.
Bottom line is… Atheists may believe as they wish, but have no right to impose their will or opinions on any of us. If we that are Believers in our Lord and Savior let them get away with any more than having an opinion, well the shames on us.
Anyone is free to pick up a Bible and read its truth and decide for themselves whether or not to believe. Just as an Atheist is free to believe in "nothing"... in the Bible it is written, we will all stand before the Lord for judgment one day and will then be required to justify our beliefs or lack there of... I wonder what the atheists will say then?

The Constitution was designed to protect all Americans rights, including those men and women who are not Christians. Also, not believing in one persons god or another does not equate to an atheist or agnostic believing in nothingness.

I don't know if all of the focus is on a westboro baptist church type group of atheists or if atheists are just this hypocritical. I also wonder how many "atheists" know the difference between being atheist and agnostic.
It seems to me, especially in the last 5 years, that atheists have become everything that they've always accused Christians of being. Those people that force their beliefs down your throat and do nothing but persecute you for not agreeing with them while doing the exact opposite of what they tell you that you should be doing according to their beliefs.
I was born and raised in Massachusetts and didn't have a lot of religious or spiritual influence in my life growing up. Most of the people that I knew that were any sort of religious were either Jewish or Catholic.
I've travelled all over the world, I've been to every corner of the US, and I currently find myself planted smack dab in the middle of the "Bible Belt" in Alabama. So far, in my experience here, all these religious folks that the atheists are so convinced are terrible, horrible, people are actually really great and very welcoming.... especially considering I'm a "Yankee" and I'm still working on my spiritual side.
If you don't want a Bible, don't take one. I'd recommend picking one up just to read it though. It can be a tough read depending on the version and the way that it's written, but you might learn something.
Whether you believe the stories in the Bible or not, there are a lot of good moral lessons to take from it.

If you want one take one, if you don't, then just don't take one. Its just an offer not a requirement. Jeez, grow up and get over yourself.

Try a little experiment. Get two T-Shirts - one that says "Atheist" and another that says "Christian." Wear each for a week, then check back in here and let us hear what you experience has been. I guarantee that the two will not be the same.
I recommend also have you check out various studies on religious knowledge. Atheists typically score higher on tests for religious knowledge than do the believers. Many used to be believers, but changed after further reading and understanding of their religions.

My response is simple, NO! He might be an atheist but I guarantee the majority of the unit is not. He does not have to read, listen to anyone else read and when the shit hits the fan he can continue to pretend he did not pray at all.
As a former BC my answer is what I said earlier, no, if he does not like it he can find another unit or get out. But he is now interfering with the religious rights of all the others in the unit.

This is a great opportunity for every atheist to not accept or take an item offerred to them that is entirely of their own individual choi e to take or not to take, to accept or not to accept, to KMA or not KMA,
WHEN I WENT INTO COMBAT I HAD PSALM 91 written on my left side of my helmet during the Vietnam ERA, on same helmet when l deployed to DMZ, KOREA 1986, on my Kevlar helmet when l deployed again DMZ, KOREA 1989...then deployed to Persian Gulf war 1990-992 ...then still on my Kevlar for shooting war in L A RIOTS Rodney King 1992..finally on my 3rd deployment DMZ KOREA 1993...and l accepted a variety of Bibles during each tour of duty but l dont recall any Atheists on those battlefields with the incoming screaming in...
So Atheists... KMA..left to right or in a circle... your choice..

Being a Christian you must live your life 24/7 with the Word of God, how are you going to learn the Word of God without a Bible, this world is passing away. Everyone need to be born under the Blood of Jesus, meaning born anew. Every creation of mankind has some type of Diety, that they believe in, as Christians you must put on the whole armor of God.
