There ARE Atheists in Foxholes

I thought this was a nice story from NPR about an atheist soldier's unexpected but welcome encounter with acceptance and understanding in a foxhole in Afghanistan. It's troubling to read that he was repeatedly told by his own comrades and Afghan allies that he was going to hell when he is a soldier risking his life just like the rest of them. An apt tribute to the cut-short life of the young Afghan translator who made the soldier for once feel something other than rejection and judgment.
