Tell the truth

 Tell the truth, what does this sound like to you?

James Dao wrote an article for the New York Times that was published on April 27, 2011.   This is the headline of the article, Atheists Seek Chaplain Role in the Military.   The article begins:  "In the military, there are more than 3,000 chaplains who minister to the spiritual and emotional needs of active duty troops, regardless of their faiths.  The vast majority are Christians, a few are Jews or Muslims, one is a Buddhist.  A Hindu, possibly a Wiccan may join their ranks soon.
But an atheist?
Strange as it sounds, groups representing atheists and secular humanists are pushing for the appointment of their own to the chaplaincy, hoping to give voice to what they say is a large  - and largely underground population of nonbelievers in the military."

In a portion of the article, James Torpy is quoted.  "Mr. Torpy is  a former Army captain who is president of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, said, humanist chaplains would do everything religious chaplains do, including counsel troops and help them follow their faiths.  But just as Protestant chaplain would not preside over a Catholic service, a humanist might not lead a religious ceremony though he might help organize it."

 This is what I am thinking, How would an atheist chaplain help a Christian follow their faith?
To me, this seems a bit twisted.
