ARE
THERE
NO
ATHEISTS
IN
ARLINGTON?
An
Unpublished Letter to Los Angeles Times
Context:
The debate surrounding the phrase "one nation under God" in
The Pledge of Allegiance
I am proud to be a Catholic American, but I have
to ask: Are there no atheist Americans buried in Arlington?
Perhaps some of the Japanese Americans who left
the internment camps to fight and die for our country during
World War II were Buddhists, who believed in our country but not
in my God.
Patriotic actions speak louder than patriotic
words.
