We are delighted to welcome back Seattle-based writer and psychologist Valerie Tarico, following up on her first guest front-page post on the Army's spiritual fitness program. She is the author of Trusting Doubt: A Former Evangelical Looks at Old Beliefs in a New Light and the founder of www.WisdomCommons.org. Her articles can be found at Awaypoint.Wordpress.com, where this post first appeared. -- FC
Note: The Army's spiritual fitness program is part of a pattern of religious discrimination and abuse in the military. While reporting on these things has an often necessary and rightful focus on civil and constitutional rights of individuals, this may also be fairly seen as part of a wider political and religious war on equality and religious pluralism by the American Religious Right.
