In what some might see as an oxymoron, an advocacy group apparently is preparing to ask the Defense Department to appoint a chaplain — for atheists.
A source tells Fox News that the Military Association of Atheists and Free Thinkers plans to make the request on Tuesday, floating its president Jason Torpy as the proposed chaplain.
… the MAAF argues that military chaplains are not providing enough outreach for those who do not believe in God.
The army needs these chaplains to counsel soldiers who wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, afraid that life might have meaning.
