Just to pass along.......Katie Couric on NBC has uttered the old lie "there are no Atheists in
foxholes." American Atheists has put out an action alert, and I agree, we
need to respond to her. Their action alert site:
http://www.atheists.org/action/alert-05-apr-2006.html
Or just e-mail Katie directly at: today@nbc.com
And hey! Pass it on! :o)

Sent one off, but it doesn't matter. Like her employers, that heifer has all of the credibility of my house 'possum, who has none.
She looks presentable on camera, but that's about the extent of her. Pity...

The one I heard once was more complete:
"There are no atheists in foxholes, and no believers in concentration camps."
Also found this little essay from a website I know little about. See a bit below the list on the following link, where they discuss the "battlefield effect":

| No believers in the camps, Good one Chip. Of course Falwell and Robertson will probably claim its because they didn't know Jesus. |

That's a good one that I hadn't heard. 
I sent an email, too. I don't expect it will change the world, but I feel a little better.
