Complete lack of surpise.

My comment on this:
Only in America!
Or, ya know, Iran
and other countries like those two.

At least I can count on our
hibernating viking blood to stay
sluggish).

Dear Sir

You continue to perpetuate a tired myth on your recent program by saying, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” The sheer inaccuracy of this statement ought to be obvious, but apparently is not.

There are atheists in foxholes. So many in fact, that they are organized into a group called the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers. History tells us that far more atheists come out of foxholes than go in, the horror and carnage of war devastating many people’s belief in a benevolent higher power.

You probably did not intend to offend the diverse community of forty million Americans with no religious identification. In the future however, please refrain from implying a person’s morality and humanity is diminished simply by virtue of their atheism. As the nation is now engaged in yet another war, your refutation of this illogical myth is appropriate.

Sincerely, Jonathan P Smith
