(Washington Post) A chaplain at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska was ordered to remove a religious column he had written titled, "No Atheists in Foxholes: Chaplains Gave all in World War II," because it allegedly offended atheists serving on the Air Force base.
Lt. Col. Kenneth Reyes confirmed to Fox News that he wrote the original essay that appeared in his "Chaplain's Corner" column on the base website.
Reyes recounted the origin of the phrase "There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole." Father William Cummings has largely been credited with uttering the phrase in Bataan during World War II.
