It's about control, that's all. The Bible speaks about being hated for believing in Him. Here we go! 4951

That is government tripping on their power.  What a waste of tax payer dollars.  So many freaking government regulations. 4951

So as a 21-year veteran and an atheist let me toss in my 2 cents.From a religious perspective, I could honestly care less.  We're soldiers.  I'm an atheist, you're a believer...who cares.  Can you perform your duties?  Can you function under pressure?  Can you make good decisions when someone is shooting at you?  I'll not get offended when you witness to me.  Don't get offended when I'm not interested.  My wife isn't interested in sports so I don't bother telling her about the game.  Doesn't mean I like her any less.  Mutual respect, no issues.If I look at this in the same light as politics then it actually sort of makes sense.  From the day I joined in 1984 until the day I left the service in 2005 I could vote for anyone I wanted to...but I couldn't try to persuade your vote.  Couldn't identify with a specific party or work for an election campaign.  If they enforce it similarly...no one in uniform could say, "soldier, you need to accept Jesus as your savior" just like they can't say "soldier, you need to vote for so-and-so".  I agree with Jax that it's about control...EVERYTHING in the military is about control...but I disagree that it's about hating on Christians specifically.  The military is about the biggest hodge-podge of religion that I've ever witnessed.  We even had a wiccan in one unit and the chaplain did everything he could to accommodate.  Show me a unit of 100 guys and I'll show you 40 different brands of faith and 80 different levels of commitment.  Not asking anyone to agree with me.  Just trying to paint a little perspective.   4951

@shodan66:
 
I think I was most concerned about the interpretations of the wording in the document. How broadly could it be interpreted and get someone in trouble..
