There is no such thing as a conservative when it comes to federal disaster relief.....

1. Funny how we fought all of those "godless" Nazis and Reds back then.

From the "godly" perspective, I'd imagine there were a few atheists in those foxholes looking back at us.

6. Ah, got it!
I have an atheist brother who recently crawled out of a foxhole called Ramadi, you'd be surprised how many people still believe he doesn't exist.

8. Pat Tillman was an avowed non-believer
A bit off-topic here, but still pertinent.
