Freethinkers Group Added to Air Force Academy's SPIRE Program
While the mainstream media are getting a few of the facts wrong, the story is true: the Air Force Academy's Special Programs in Religious Education now has a Freethinkers Group. |
A religious education program at the Air Force Academy that's taken fire for inviting evangelical Christians to campus has taken on a distinctly secular twist.
Free Thinkers [sic] of Colorado Springs, which promotes nonreligious themes including science, logic lessons and humanism, has joined the academy's Special Programs in Religious Education, which is an umbrella for extracurricular faith programs.
"The academy continues to adhere to the highest American intellectual tradition of open mindedness and fairness, values that have contributed to our country's greatness," the group said in a news release.
The program
lets groups, including the Colorado Springsbased [sic] Navigators, hold meetings with cadet groups that request guidance.
