New Military Religious Freedom Site
Via TalkingPointsMemo, comes word of a website of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an organization
dedicated to ensuring that all members of the United States Armed Forces fully receive the Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom to which they and all Americans are entitled by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.They have a link to a "blog" as well but so far I haven't gotten it to work. Could be on the way. Looks like an interesting organization worth watching.
Excerpting from the Mission Statement, the "MRFF holds that:
No member of the military may be compelled to endure unwanted religious proselytization, evangelization or persuasion of any sort in a military setting and/or by a military superior or civilian employee of the military.The full exercise of religious freedom includes the right not to subscribe to any particular religion or religious philosophy. The so-called “unchurched” cede no Constitutional rights by want of their separation from organized faith.
It is the responsibility of the military hierarchy to ensure that the free exercise of religious freedoms of all enlisted personnel are respected and served.
