What especially resonates with me is that I'm very uncomfortable with the concept of Chaplains and the fact that we pray at the start of every function. How is this separation of church and state?<br /><br />The fact that Atheist was not allowed to be on your husband's dog tags is cause for much outcry.

Thanks for leaving a comment the the blog. Not an atheist but a Pagan, which gets you about the same reaction from the mil-types. I'll say the pledge, but I refuse to say "under God."

I do not pray either and I don't think it appropriate to have it part of every single military function because everyone does not believe in God. I still believe in the separation of church and state.

It makes me sad because a lot of our FRG gatherings have to do with Bible studies, and I just don't do that. At military functions I bow my head and say "Amen" at the end, but it's just out of habit/respect than anything else.
