"While I have no issue with Reyes trying to find the origins of that phrase, the fact is: that statement is just untrue. And to perpetuate it by saying everyone has faith in something just reinforces a harmful myth. Of course there are atheists in foxholes, and when they’re under attack in a war, they don’t start looking to God for help. To argue otherwise, or to redefine “faith” to mean faith in yourself or fellow soldiers, is disingenuous. I don’t think Reyes intentionally set out to denigrate atheists, but that’s what he ended up doing." Predictably, religious conservatives frothed at the mouth about the removal of the article as being some form of discrimination of Christians.
