MRFF FOUNDATION VOICE FEATURED BY POLITICUSUSA

Fox News Pretends MRFF is Declaring War
on Christianity Over Nativity Scene

By MRFF Board Member Leah Burton

Thursday, December 15, 2011

Selected Article Excerpts:

• The debate going on over the Travis Air Force Base’s overt Christmas display is a pervasive activity with calculated intent – not an isolated event. Fox Nation (website of Fox News) is pretending that a call to leave religious symbols out of a the holiday display is a war on the entire base, as demonstrated by their article entitled "Anti-Nativity Group Declares War on Travis AFB."

• Distorting our defense of religious freedoms as an "attack on Christianity" is dishonest. At no time have we recommended or proposed the cessation of ritual or the removal of Christianity from any military base. We have worked tirelessly to keep one belief from dictating a mandate to all others whose beliefs differ. We support the rituals of worship honored in their respective places, not when they elbow their way to the forefront with blatant disregard for any other belief. It is because of you that MRFF exists.

MRFF FEATURED BY HUFFINGTON POST

Southern Baptists Admit That They Oppose
Religious Equality In The Military

By Chris Rodda, MRFF Senior Research Director

Thursday, December 15, 2011

Selected Article Excerpts:

• Well, it doesn’t get any clearer than this. In an article from the Baptist Press, the news arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Southern Baptists have finally come right out and admitted what we at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) have known all along — they oppose religious equality in the U.S. military.

• The Baptist Press, like a number of other Christian news outlets, is currently reviving the nearly year old story about Air Force Academy’s outdoor worship area in response to recent events at the Academy, particularly the recent change made by the Academy regarding cadet participation in Franklin Graham’s Operation Christmas Child. Hey, they have to have some other juicy, if not quite true, examples of Christian persecution to generate some good outrage, right? And they also need someone to target as the big, bad anti-Christian boogeyman — and that would be Mikey Weinstein, the founder and president of MRFF. In fact, the main gist of Baptist Press article is that none of this horrible Christian persecution at the Air Force Academy is the Academy’s fault; it’s all the work of Weinstein.

• In reality, neither Mikey Weinstein nor MRFF are anti-Christian. Of MRFF’s 351 clients at the Air Force Academy, 316 are Christians themselves, both Protestants and Catholics.

MRFF Denounces Representative Rick Womick’s Call to
Ban Muslims from U.S. Military

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

With great shock and anger, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation denounces in the most forceful terms the inflammatory expressions of anti-Muslim, McCarthyesque sedition which have been uttered by Rick Womick, Republican state representative from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Womick, who has on numerous occasions scandalously called for the removal of Muslim-Americans from the ranks of the U.S. Military, has elevated hate speech from the gutters of marginal extremism to the national debate regarding the rights afforded to the honorable members of our armed services.

MRFF DOGGED BY BAPTIST PRESS

Air Force Academy dogged by anti-Christian pressure

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Selected Article Excerpts:

• COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP) -- Recent actions by the U.S. Air Force Academy could appear as if commanders are on a mission to rid the institution of Christian influence, but a nearby pastor says the actions are the result of intense pressure from one man.

• Not only does the academy now provide worship space for all, it requires all cadets to complete religious respect training. Mike Routt, pastor of Circle Drive Baptist Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., told Baptist Press the hostility toward Christianity at the Air Force Academy is not the result of the leadership there but is in response to pressure from Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

• Weinstein's interpretation of the U.S. Constitution "has no historical basis since he aims to restore something that has never yet existed," Heimbach said, referring to the freedom from religion claim.

Congressman Intercedes on Behalf of Pendleton Cross

By Bryant Jordan

Monday, December 12, 2011

• California Rep. Duncan Hunter has waded into the battle over the so-called Camp Pendleton cross — put up by leathernecks in honor of four buddies killed in Iraq — by asking the commander of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to let the cross stay.

• The cross, which was erected without official authorization, has come under fire by several groups, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "We've pointed out all along that the cross does not memorialize all the men and women who serve in the armed forces," spokesman Rob Boston said. "It is explicitly a Christian symbol and the military is made up of people of many religious beliefs and no religious beliefs."

• In addition to Americans United, the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers [MAAF] and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation [MRFF] have called for removing the cross.
  "U.S. Marines, and all armed forces members take an oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution and not a particular religious faith's symbol such as a cross, Star of David or Crescent Moon," MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein said. "Those brave Marines died for our country's beautiful Constitution and not as warriors for Christ or any other religion's central figure."
