Atheists in Foxholes News 10 Nov 2011
MAAF has selected 26 recent articles of interest in the areas of atheism & humanism in the military, society, and government, both in the US and internationally. MAAF was covered in Mother Jones, the Atlantic, the Alyona Show on RT, the Boston Globe, and the Baltimore Sun. The Baltimore Sun added an editorial in support of MAAF efforts to recognize humanists.
Congratulations to Justin Griffith for reenlisting. Dustin Chalker recently left the military and took the opportunity to call out a senior officer using his blog to disparage junior atheists.
Several church-state separation stories have come up in preparation for the “holiday” season. An atheist Egyptian blogger represents the importance of free press, free speech, and the rights of atheists. The Harvard Humanist Chaplaincy had several great events. Books reviewed include Christopher Hitchens’s “Arguably” and Steven Pinker “The Better Angels of our Nature.”
