Bombarded by angry protests, the U.S. Navy has reversed a decision to remove copies of the Bible from guest rooms at Navy base lodges as demanded by an atheist group.
Fox News reports that the Navy has overridden an order from Navy Exchange Command (NEXCOM) to remove the Bibles pending a review of the situation and, in the meantime, Bibles that were removed from Navy guest rooms will be returned.
Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) attorney Andrew Seidel filed a complaint stating, "Providing Bibles to guests in Navy-run hotels amounts to government endorsement of that religious text" and is, therefore, unconstitutional.
The FFRF even complained that copies of the Book of Mormon or the Koran were not to be found in Navy lodgings.

NO PROBLEM..... have copies of all text needed in the office and they can be loaned upon request. People sign out the book of their choice and return before leaving.
The right thing to do is make all available. Add a book with no print on the pages for the Atheists to cover all bases.
