I'm curious to see what her contribution will be. Since Ellen Johnson comes on kinda strong I'm worried that viewers will see her an another uppity atheist poking her nose in matters that don't concern her. But maybe they'll talk about other things as well. The atheist angle on this story is pretty incidental, I think. I’m curious to see what her contribution will be.

What the hell does atheism have to do with Pat Tillman? Nationalist propaganda = religion? Maybe, but that's too much of a stretch to explain in frantic, cable-news-style sound bite. <br /> <br /> I think they should just stage a cut down match between Ellen and Debbie Schlussel - that's what it will probably end up being anyway.<br /> <br />

I didn’t know Tillman was an atheist at all. The media always seems to portray people in the military as christians.
