as an atheist in the US Armed Forces.

Specialist Jeremy Hall has filed a lawsuit against his Commanding Officer, the Pentagon, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates alleging violations of his First Amendment right to religious freedom. Specialist Hall claims that he has been threatened with violence and professional retaliation as a result of his refusal to join hands and pray with other soldiers at Thanksgiving and his creation of a group for atheist soldiers.
