"I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing that this was little noted."
Since you don't time-stamp, I can't tell when today this was posted. I noted it last night, and posted this this morning, and now saw your post. l'd give it a bit of time for others to notice before declaring they've not noticed, myself.
Utterly trivial follow-up: judging from the placement on Memeorandum, I posted on this before you did, actually. Pure trivia, carry on.
Non-sequitur: I'd like to see word about this First Amendment support project that people can enjoy spread far and wide, though, by bloggers, while time remains.
Having parts of the U.S. armed forces under control of a fairly intolerant brand of religion is bad for us--not so much because we have to worry about civil war, but because our armed forces are getting involved in missions in which religious intolerance is counterproductive. Like this (read the rest.
Of course, having the government under control of a fairly intolerant branch of religion is even worse here.
(I'm not saying that's evangelicals, BTW, I've never quite understood that term and some say it's irrespective of politics. I'm calling these evangelicals intolerant.)

I noted the complaints about the Air Force academy and also noticed the new regulations, I just don't have a blog to note them in.
In general, though, in the US "Christianity" is the "good" religion and people rarely note anytihng it does.
