Organizers prepare atheism-themed Bragg event

RALEIGH, N.C. -- It has been more than a year in the making, but organizers of the first concert at a U.S. military base aimed at atheists and other non-religious service members and their families say they're putting the final touches on the Fort Bragg event.

"Rock Beyond Belief" is scheduled for Saturday, March 31, and plans to feature bands and speakers, including Richard Dawkins, the famed British scholar and atheist author. It will be the highest-visibility event so far in a growing effort by military personnel without belief in God or religions to be recognized by their peers and the Pentagon.
