Fort Bragg Guarantees Criticism of Organized Religion and Adherents

FORT BRAGG, NC -- Commanders at Fort Bragg have made peace with organizers of the looming atheist festival they approved late last year. Colonel Stephen Sicinski - Bragg's Garrison Commander - has now issued an official statement that specifically protects speech critical of religion.

Colonel Sicinski explains, "I want to assure you that Fort Bragg will not discriminate against speech on the basis of its viewpoint. Stated another way, I understand and respect that there will be ample discussion about atheism and/or humanism during the festival and that the speakers may criticize organized religion or its practitioners."
