After the group American Humanist Association threatened to sue the Air Force on behalf of an atheist Airman, the Air Force immediately removed the requirement to say ‘So Help Me God’ from their enlistment oath.
The Airman was denied re-enlistment after crossing the phrase off the oath on Aug. 25th, prompting the suit.
“We take any instance in which Airmen report concerns regarding religious freedom seriously,” said Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, Air Force Times reported Wednesday. The change in policy goes into effect immediately.
“We are pleased that the U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed our client has a First Amendment right to omit the reference to a supreme being in his reenlistment oath,” Monica Miller, an attorney with the AHA’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center, said in a statement Wednesday, Air Force Times reported. “We hope the Air Force will respect the constitutional rights of Atheists in the future.”
The Army, Navy and Marine Corps all give enlistees the option to say “so help me God.”
No way!!! Tell me this a joke!! We don’t bother atheist what’s this world coming too just let satan take over?? Man!!
So wrong and sad.
the wants of atheists and muslims seems to be more important than Americans who are neither atheist or muslim.What happened to the fact that the wants of a few shouldnt controll everyone else?
GOD, is giving us ample warning of the End of Time! We ” Must” help those Non – believers to find God. Once again, I WOULD RATHER BELIEVE AND FIND OUT GOD ISNT REAL THAN TO NOT BELIEVE AND FIND OUT HE IS REAL. DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO KEEP YOURS EVESvvvvvsv IN GOOD STANDING WITH GOD.
