Be All You Can Be in the Army--Except Atheist

Specialist Jeremy Hall is suing the US Army for discrimination after receiving harassment and mistreatment, he says, because he is an atheist. He says he first declared his non-belief in the supernatural in Iraq in 2007, when the Humvee he was in took several bullets to its protective shield. Afterwards, when his commander asked him if he believed in God, he responded, "No, but I believe in Plexiglas." Since then, he's been harassed by other soldiers, including superior officers, and been called anything from a devil worshiper to "gay" for his beliefs. I understand being called a devil worshiper. I mean, who among us atheists hasn't wanted to worship the Prince of Lies? But gay? Really? Is the army made up of sixth graders? Fight the good fight, Specialist Hall. You had me at "No, but I believe in Plexiglas." Read more here.
