With the war in Iraq officially over and “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” relegated to the history books, the military has become a less-frequently discussed news item. But for men and women on active duty and for the many people of conscience in all branches of our armed forces, there continues to be a grave concern about a pervasive conservative Christian aspect to our military. This week, Rev. Gaddy talks with a leader in exposing and opposing the pervasiveness of conservative Christianity in the military – Michael “Mikey” Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and author of No Snowflake in an Avalanche: The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, its Battle to Defend the Constitution, and One Family’s Courageous War against Religious Extremism in High Places. Weinstein explores the roots of the religious freedom issues in our military, recounts his personal experiences in the military and forecasts what’s next in the cause of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
