Atheists, Agnostics and Secular Humanists have had their symbols active for some time.

I'm not a Wiccan, but that makes me happy.

It is good news indeed. Ironic how hard it's been for those working to achieve it, with Wicca being a "legally recognized" religion. I'm still not sure I understand "why" religions need government sanction to be "recongized", but at least Wiccans, and those Pagans that do use the pentacle outside of Wiccan practice as well, can use it now.

Boy, you can talk about long trails. About 60 years since I talked to some folks starting the first Coven in Texas. Thanks for the info . . . It's got to be something when the rock wall breaks down enough that folks can finally be buried under a symbol of their religion in military graveyard.

Nothing on the atheists.

39 different religions recognized by the VA. I did not know that there was 39 religions at all. Funny part is, Everyone of them 'knows' that they are right and everyone else is going to their version of hell.
