The New American website reports today (November 29, 2011) that a pagan chapel has been built at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The new open-air "Stonehenge-like" ring of stones -- with a propane firepit -- was provided at a cost of nearly $80,000 to the American taxpayers.
According to the academy's enrollment records, only three of the 4,300 cadets identified themselves as pagans -- followers of an ancient religion that generally does not worship a single god and considers all things in nature interconnected.
In supporting the pagan chapel, Maj. Darren Duncan -- the chaplain in charge of all the faith communities at the academy -- said that if the military is to defend the Constitution, it should also be upholding its guarantee of religious freedom.
