He’s already filed a lawsuit (PDF) that says he was denied a promotion because of his atheism.

Since then, Specialist Jeremy Hall hasn’t won many fans in the military.

He’s still facing threats.

Spc. Jeremy Hall filed a formal statement Wednesday with the Army. He says he overheard a conversation between two sergeants in his platoon and one wanted to “bust Hall in the mouth.” Hall says he faces the animosity because he is an atheist and is suing the Department of Defense. He alleges it permits a culture that pushes fundamentalist Christianity. He says he does not feel safe his unit.

It’s bad enough we have our soldiers overseas right now; that many are not treated with respect because they are not Christian is despicable. The Department of Defense has to take action against high-ranking army officials who allow this harassment to continue.
