Pentagon Hires Anti-Conservative Activist Who Branded Fundamentalists as 'Christian Monsters'

The Pentagon has hired a Jewish activist who has been outspoken in his opposition to conservative Christianity to serve as a consultant and develop new policies on religious tolerance.

MRFF, which says its primary goal is to advocate for the separation of church and state, has said that most of its members are Christian.
