Seems to me that if the Army accepts atheist Chaplains it will underscore the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Kaufman v. McCaughtry where the court determined atheism is a religion.

Surely then some Christian legal group could bring a First Amendment case to overturn the previous decisions which banned God's Names in schools and thereafter in most every publicly funded venue.

After all, if atheism is a religion then banning God's Names by judicial fiat has established atheism as the religion of the land.

IMHO, those wrong turn judicial decision have caused much of the spiritual blindness in the US today. Jeepers, the reporters gasp at the Name Jesus as if it were a curse word and yet find it perfectly acceptable when actually used as a curse word.

And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. - Deuteronomy 12:3-4

God's Name is I AM.

It's a synergistic effect.   Those judicial decisions were rendered in the context of a society whose members have increasingly abdicated personal responsibility for their own spirituality to a "leadership" of perverted wolven-parrots wearing vestigial Roman state-sanctioned plumage.    "Spiritual" fleecemeisters like this...

...meth using connoisseur of male prostitution who, in his heyday, presided over a mega-circus tent filled with Useful Idiots who evidently learned that it was ok to lie about your income on your mortgage application... so long as you were raptured before the ARM on the McMansion exploded.

Observe this typical graph of house valuations in "conservative" Colorado Springs - right in the front yard of the Air Force Academy, Focus on the Family, NORAD, Fort Carson... etc etc etc.

"morality"?

Given that "Liar Loans" and dishonesty were a central element of how the bubble got blown,  it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the calibration of the moral compass of those "leading" the Technocratic Military Industrial Oligarchy.

It's almost as if Yuri Bezmenov...

1. Ideological subversion is the process which is [a] legitimate, old word, and open. You can see it with your own eyes.  All American mass media has to do is to "unplug bananas" from their ears, open up their eyes,  and they can see it.  There is no mystery.  
 
It has nothing to do with espionage. I know that espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic.  It sells more deodorants through the advertising.  That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all.
 
According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization"....

Morality?  Nah, that's somebody shearing the Sheeple on the steps of the temple an and, as usual, it ain't gonna have a happy ending:

Excellent insight, dearest sister in Christ! Of course, the Constitution forbids the establishment of a state religion. But these days, increasingly the judiciary seems to regard the Constitution as their personal property with which they can do anything they want.

So it's nice that SCOTUS has indicated atheism is a "religion." I think they got that just exactly right.

Atheists probably strenuously object to that characterization. Among other things, they believe that faith and reason are mutually exclusive. But note I said "they believe": They are men of faith, too....

Thanks ever so much for your excellent observations!
