Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more ridiculous, it does. Making provisions for Wicca and Druidism, in addition to Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism; in the Air Force Academy no less.
Instead of making progress in terms of liberating ourselves from religious superstitions this country is going in reverse. Maybe they should also make provisions for those who wish to worship Greek gods. Really folks; Jesus, Allah and Buddha are no more gods than Zeus, Apollo and Dionysus. If people are going to worship imaginary gods, why not worship them all? TGO

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – The Air Force Academy in Colorado has set up an outdoor worship area for followers of Wicca, Druidism and other Earth-centered religions.
A double circle of stones has been placed atop a hill on the campus near Colorado Springs. It’s available to cadets and other service personnel in the area.
The academy said Monday that chapel staff worked with Tech. Sgt. Brandon Longcrier, who follows the Pagan tradition, to establish the area. He’s the non-commissioned officer-in-charge of the academy’s astronautics labs.
The school also has worship facilities for Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists.
Academy superintendent Michael Gould has made religious tolerance a priority. It became a concern after 2004 a survey of cadets found instances of harassment.
