Atheist group seeks to ban “religious preference” from military documentation | Politicollision

As with most things MAAF does (Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers) this seems to be solution in search of a problem.
Last we heard from MAAF was when they were going after a cross at Camp Pendleton that Marines had put up to honor their fallen brothers. That effort angered even their fellow atheists:
I am a fellow atheist and have been for over ten years. I joined the Marine Corps in 2002 and continue to serve today. Never in that time have I been asked to change my beliefs or encouraged to be silent about my religious opinions… I will say that the opposition to that monument by this organization disgusts me and takes away from our brotherhood and all that we stand for.
