FULL INTERVIEW

CONDENSED INTERVIEW

Mikey Weinstein is the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (http://militaryreligiousfreedom.org), an organization dedicated to combating the unconstitutional religious proselytization that remains far too prevalent in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.

In this interview, he and Cenk Uygur discuss Mikey’s recent run-in with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, the prevalence in the military of “Dominionism,” the radical fundamentalist Christian theology that anticipates the imminent return of Jesus Christ, and why the fight for religious freedom within the military may be all that stands between us and global nuclear destruction.

Before founding the MRFF in 2006, Weinstein was an Air Force officer, Reagan Administration legal counsel and General Counsel to Texas billionaire and two-time Presidential candidate H. Ross Perot and Perot Systems Corporation. He is also the author of With God on Our Side: One Man’s War Against an Evangelical Coup in America’s Military and No Snowflake in an Avalanche, both of which describe his fight against alleged coercive Christian Fundamentalist practices by some members of the military.
