No, having faith makes you a poorer person (all other things being equal).
But even though there are soldiers complaining about it, we absolutely do not allow that religious stuff! Yeah, right.
I don't care how faithful you are. Unless you've been in the same shit this atheist soldier has been in or similar, you should probably just sit this one out.
The sad thing to me is that I'm pretty sure that 90% of atheists would be happy just to not have other ideas pushed on them. And those who would push their anti-theistic views on the religious are not in fact atheists, but anti-theists hijacking atheism the same way bin Laden hijacks Islam.
And those who would push their anti-theistic views on the religious are not in fact atheists, but anti-theists hijacking atheism the same way bin Laden hijacks Islam.
Except that pushing atheist ideas promotes making decisions based on evidence and experience whereas pushing fundamentalist Islam promotes war mongering and disregard for human rights.
Anti-theism simply consists in the belief that the world would be better off without superstition. A few atheists are convinced that religion makes the world a better place, many atheists are agnostic about whether the world would be better without religion, and some atheists are convinced that the world would be better without religion.
It is difficult to swallow the idea that the world might be better with most people believing something that you believe to be false. In the absence of any strong evidence that the world might benefit from the lie, of course one should oppose the lie.
"Fervent nationalism is akin to religious fundamentalism."
The word atheist has none, and can never have any more meaning than that. You cant hijack the "I dont believe in santa claus"-crowd(The Aclausists) either..
The Anti-Clauses may want us to burn down the christmas tree and pull off santa's mask in front of the 4-year-olds, but thats got nothing to do with the non-belief most of us have towards santa..
Atheism is an ideology/religion like bald is a hair-color.
Unfortunately, I think the attempt will get scuttled by a sub-par legal team. I'm not a lawyer, but I have plenty of experience with legal writing both through looking at my dad's work (he's an attorney), and through reading lots of briefs, decisions, and other filings posted to the internet. I've gotten pretty good at telling competent legal writing from mediocre, and the suit as filed just doesn't cut it. The lawyers clearly didn't do enough research before filing suit, and it shows. It references the First Amendment, but it doesn't even touch the legal complexities one has to deal with when trying to sue the military.
It doesnt matter whether its true or not they will invoke the Bush tactic of looking right into the camera and say with complete seriousness that its not true and foolish to even think so, and like always saying it on TV must make it the truth so people will just take their word for it and this story will never be heard of again. Irritates the shit out of me the amnesia in this country
It's not called Amnesia, it's called doublethink. Orwell had it right when he wrote 1984:
"The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth."
he was extremely antitheist, totally didn't care about offending religious people, wouldn't debate anything, called religion "shit" and suggested that all religious people are stupid and dangerous.
i said ... "so you're religiously antireligious"
the look on his face!! lol.
I am a highly "spiritual" person I don't believe any one religion is the ONLY way to God.

A fine method of enforcing conformism: deride anybody who complains about anything.
Babies aren't evil.
Hahaha, though, that was a pretty pathetic attempt to reinforce your whiny point.
Everyone who makes fun of me is FASCIST goddamnit! Fascist!!!!
Except it does. Even Dan Dennett doesn't necessarily like the term atheist because it carries with it the connotation of "belaboring" Christians about their beliefs.
While I suppose, yeah, if you just look at a strict definition by a dictionary, you can make that claim, but people make associations in real life based on their experiences, and while most of my experiences with atheists are positive (I'd say the majority of my friends are atheists, while I'm a Xian), there have been many instances to the contrary as well. On Slashdot, the atheists there are in the majority and incredibly condescending to anyone who believes in Christ, and at my university (UC San Diego) we had a very vocal atheist professor (http://polisci.ucsd.edu/faculty/irons.htm) who was quite the dick to people who didn't agree with him in class, if he thought they were religious in any fashion.
His biggest act of asshat-ery, though, was when during a legal battle over the existence of the cross on Mt. Soledad, he sneakily booked the site for Easter morning, even though (well, because) a church group had held Easter morning services there every year. So that he could hold a pagan ceremony there instead. Basically, though, just to be a dick.
By the way, I suggest everybody begin using that "ignore" button for a certain troll who's comments inevitably contain the words "boo hoo".

You do realize that Easter (and "Christmas") is and has been a pagan holiday long before Christianity was invented. Rabbits laying eggs, decorated trees on December 25th, hmm, I wonder where that came from?
If you don't believe me, here's what christiananswers.net says about Easter:
