Bonnie Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has a new book:
The MRFF has an important mission:
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is dedicated to ensuring that all members of the United States Armed Forces fully receive the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom to which they and all Americans are entitled by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Over 60,000 active duty, veteran, and civilian personnel of the United States Armed Forces, including individuals involved in High School JROTC around the nation, have come to our foundation for redress and assistance in resolving or alerting the public to their civil rights grievances, with hundreds more contacting MRFF each day. 96% of them are Christians themselves.
In the Orwellian logic of the times, ‘religious freedom’ has been twisted to mean the right to impose a fundamentalist Christianity on others — the dominionist movement among other things — and they seek to turn the US military into holy warriors in this cause. The MRFF is pushing back: here’s their defense of the history of the separation of Church and State — and military.
This book documents the pushback they’re getting. If you’re wondering about evangelical support for Trump, this shows you why they are okay with him.
Mrs. Betty Bowers (America’s Best Christian) has a video review of the book — below — and it pulls no punches. There’s some serious snark here, but it’s not really funny these days...
