Jeremy Hall

Here's a guy who says he was harassed for being an atheists. It's kind of ironic. I wonder... can atheists claim any rights as citizens without contradicting themselves? Does one have to believe in a "creator" before they can leverage the proclamation that "all men are created equal" and are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..."?

Spc. Jeremy Hall and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation filed a lawsuit against Maj. Paul Welborne and Defense Secretary Robert Gates in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kansas, this past week. It alleges that Welborne threatened to pursue military charges against Hall and to block his reenlistment because he was trying to hold a meeting of atheists and non-Christians in Iraq.
