Lying for Jesus almost worked
Consider a case under way in Houston. According to the Religious Right, an official with the Department of Veterans Affairs named Arleen Ocasio has ordered volunteers with an organization called the National Memorial Ladies to stop saying “God bless you” to families at funerals and sending them religious sympathy cards. Furthermore, Ocasio is accused of closing a chapel at the Houston National Cemetery and even stripping it of Christian material.
The Liberty Institute, a Texas-based Religious Right outfit, has filed a lawsuit. Local veterans have held rallies to express their outrage. Emotions are running high, and some are calling for Ocasio to be fired.

I just read the article and there are some really interesting facts. It's just amazing, what some institutes or (in this case) right activist are doing for religion censorship.
Luckily, through I am a atheist, I don't care about them and there issues.

It's only a real issue when they try to make everyone else go along with their delusion. And as this article reflects, they will lie to get that result.
