I was never in the military, but I was a Navy wife for many years and I’ve never seen anyone treated this way. Ok, that isn’t proof it didn’t happen, but I’ve known all faiths, no faith, all sorts.
There’s never been any pressure that I saw, not at all. The Army even allows/supports Wiccans, and yet this guy is treated this way? I doubt it, no, I don’t just doubt it, I flat don’t believe it.
You're right, Dead Dog.
There's all types in the Army, and other than a general topic of conversation, in general no one cares about your religion, or lack thereof.
This does to me. As a former atheist in the military, in some units there was no problem, but in others I knew to keep my head down. One community was basically run by evangelicals. And that was just as enlisted. Officers have it harder since they must actively participate in a variety of social functions if they want to advance, and a good number of them are religious.
