Readers of Stars and Stripes respond to a story about the "Secular Coalition for America’s plea ... for more acceptance of atheists and agnostics in the military." Most of the comments are about what you might expect, but I'd like to salute Navy commander John King (ret.):

Being an atheist in America seems to be more of a taboo than being a homosexual. I hope in the future that more nonbelievers will come out of the so-called "closet."

The UN had to have a meeting about whether religion was justification for murder and terrorism? Crap on a stick, that's beuaracracy alright.
