Space Force Enrages Anti-Christian Group!

Bing explores the Space Force "Bible" controversy, and apparently using a Christian Bible to swear in General John Raymond as head of the new division has incurred the wrath of the "Military Religious Freedom Foundation", which is itself on an interesting mission. On Wikipedia they are described as " a watchdog group and advocacy organization founded in 2005 by Michael L. "Mikey" Weinstein. The group's stated goal is to 'ensure that members of the United States Armed Forces receive the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom to which they are entitled by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.'" The focus of the group on Christianity, and even then, very specifically Fundamentalist Christianity, belies their alleged focus on "religion", as they have zero problem with the non-Christian denominations, and even the Christian sects that might not be largely practiced by whites. You'd think that if the asserted goal were adhered to that those religions might come under scrutiny, or even that Weinstein's OWN religion might be of interest, but apparently not.
"On Christmas Eve, 1968 astronauts Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman read from the Book of Genesis as Apollo 8 orbited the Moon."(Further Reflections on a Golden Space Era)
 It looks like, despite Weinstein's assertions, God and Religion are already out there, and it is we who are beckoned to follow, not the other way around.
