| − | + | <let name=data index=Text>“When Specialist Jeremy Hall held a meeting last July for [[atheist]]s and freethinkers at Camp Speicher in [[Iraq]], he was excited, he said, to see an officer attending. .. But minutes into the talk, the officer, Maj. Freddy J. Welborn, began to berate Specialist Hall and another soldier about atheism, Specialist Hall wrote in a sworn statement. “People like you are not holding up the [[US Constitution|Constitution]] and are going against what the [[founding fathers]], who were [[Christian]]s, wanted for [[America]]!” Major Welborn said, according to the statement. .. Major Welborn told the soldiers he might bar them from re-enlistment and bring charges against them, according to the statement.” Commentary: [http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/04/when_will_maj_freddy_j_welborn.php Pharyngula]</let> | |
