Christian Post - ACLJ Challenges 'Anti-Christian Crusade' Removing References to God in US Military
By Stoyan Zaimov, ChristianPost.com
The American Center for Law and Justice has challenged the removal of the phrase "so help me God" from the Air Force Academy's Honor Code, which it says is evidence of an "anti-Christians Crusade" against the U.S. military.
"Mr. Weinstein's numerous, erroneous demands invite extreme caution on the part of all those who are targets of his periodic tirades and who receive his periodic letters, lest the recipients become unwitting pawns in Mr. Weinstein's strategy to eviscerate religious freedom in the Armed Forces," reads ACLJ's letter to the Superintendent of the Air Force Academy, Lieutenant General Michelle D. Johnson.
The statement refers to Mikey Weinstein, the president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), who has written to the AFA asking that "so help me God" be stricken from the Honor Code, claiming that the phrase "violates the Constitution as an establishment of religion and the imposition of a religious test to hold office.". . .
