" As the class ended, one participant, Lt. Col. Marcia Meeks-Eure, paused before leaving.

'I think this sort of thing is very good because it underscores what we are supposed to be doing," she said. "I am Baptist but I won't talk about my faith unless someone asks.'"

She evidently sees this result as an appropriate goal for the "RSVP" political/atheist indoctrination training. Christians will remain silent unless spoken too. Obviously, Lt. Col. Marcia does not need to refrain from her political, philosophical, or pseudo-religious point of view. She has a government sponsored and paid for platform to do just that, i.e. the RSVP class.

Christian's are striped of their Constitutional 1st Amendment rights. The ACLU's anti-religious viewpoint is endorsed and sponsored by the USAF; it becomes the state-sponsored religion (atheism) in direct violation of the establishment clause. This is the only logical, honest conclusion.

Now, if these cadets held mandatory "church", and mandatory "Bible Study" as part of their curriculum, under color of authority, there'd be a 1st Amendment problem. That is not what's occurring here. Even the Coaches banner is a personal, Constitutionally guaranteed statement of faith.

Otherwise, the U.S. Armed Services had better do some major recruiting amongst the "anti-war" (i.e. anti U.S.A.) atheists among the political left, because Christians will not fight for a Constitution where the 1st Amendment applies to everyone but Christians.
