Over 89,000 active duty, veteran, and civilian personnel of the United States Armed Forces, including individuals involved in High School JROTC around the nation, have come to our foundation for redress and assistance in resolving or alerting the public to their civil rights grievances, with hundreds more contacting MRFF each day. 95% of them are Christians themselves.

| TWO TRIBUTES LAUD MRFF’s EFFORTS:“OUR MILITARY IS A SECULAR ORGANIZATION, PERIOD.”AND “WHY I SUPPORT MRFF” |
Today we share two of the many gracious supportive messages MRFF receives. On point sentiments such as those expressed below inspire our foundation’s fight for the Constitutionally Guaranteed Separation of Church and State in our U.S. Military: |
”Our military is a secular organization, period.” From: (MRFF Supporter’s Name & E-mail Address Withheld)Subject: Our military is a secular organization, period.Date: August 5, 2024 at 4:19:21 PM MDTTo: Military Religious Freedom Foundation Our military is a secular organization, period. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation protects the Constitutional rights of all service members to worship as they please and practice their chosen religion, without coercion, and without retribution for holding a particular “faith,” or, none at all. A military member’s career choice and progression should not be impacted, one way or another, by his or her religiosity. Christian Nationalist Commanders in our military weaken it, and themselves, in terms of leadership abilities. They destroy readiness, unit morale, and combat effectiveness, ironically, putting those they lead at risk, America’s sons and daughters. Mikey Weinstein committed many years ago to support the military, the Air Force Academy his Alma Mater, having seen first hand the results of a military divided by religious faith and the discriminatory outcomes that affect combat readiness. The MRFF protects the Constitutional provided protections regarding religious faith and I can think of no better advocate for all military members than Mr. Weinstein. Mr. Weinstein has faced many threats to himself and his family over the years for standing up to the religious bullying that impacts the careers of our service members and reduces the effectiveness of our military as a fighting force. I know of no truer Patriot and military advocate than Mr. Mikey Weinstein. I donate to the MRFF because our military service members deserve an advocacy organization, their careers hard enough without the added career impact of religiosity testing for advancement by Army of God Commanders, themselves in violation of their oaths. I donate to the MRFF because I believe in our military, want them to succeed in their careers with allegiance to their oath of supporting our Constitution without regard to religious affiliation. Your MRFF donation is not about the MRFF. It’s about support to our military members! It’s about sustaining an effective military fighting capability, many deployed as we speak to various hotspots around the world. Let’s help them Be All They Can Be without the Christian Nationalist Patriotism testing required of proselytizing Commanders. They’re already Patriots! Patriots, every one of them, that answered the call to defend this nation! Support our military members by supporting the MRFF! |
”Why I Support MRFF” From: (MRFF Supporter’s Name & E-mail Address Withheld)Subject: Why I support MRFFDate: August 6, 2024 at 10:19:13 AM MDTTo: Mikey Weinstein mikey@militaryreligiousfreedom.org In 1966 I joined the USAF. During basic training my unit was marched one Sunday to the base chapel for Christian services. I am Jewish but I had no say in the matter. My first permanent military base was in Mississippi in 1967. My office supervisor, knowing somehow that I was Jewish, assigned me to clean the latrines and told me I would have to do it daily unless I attended his off-base church. I had no recourse so I volunteered for Vietnam for quick orders out of there. When I heard about Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) over a decade ago I realized what a great organization it was, not for me but for military personnel who do not want to be harassed by ultra Christian staff. They finally had recourse and it is Mikey Weinstein and his great staff that work tirelessly to protect members of other or no religion, including Christians, from this continued abuse. I donate as often as I can and would hope others see the terrific and positive impact they have. Thank you in advance for your considerate support. |
