Leave it to FOX News to take a story out of context for political purposes. The Navy never banned Bibles. They only stopped putting them in the quarters of Navy personnel. Personnel were still allowed to have Bibles. So all that's happened is that the Navy is putting Bibles in their quarters again.
Sheesh!!
I was wondering why the Navy would have banned bibles.
Turns out they didn't. "Ban" is not what happened here. The Navy merely stopped placing bibles in their lodgings.
Why did that become a thing, anyway? Why does every hotel in America have a bible in the drawer?
I wonder how NP would react to the Navy placing a Koran in all of its quarters.

I would support it 100%
Of course you would, you live in Bagdad. :lamo
Because the Giddeons donate those Bibles.
Around 70-80% of our military personnel profess Christianity.
I don't have the figures in front of me, but I'd guess less than 1% profess Islam.
Yes, it does make a difference.
It's Gideon, and we know WHO does it. The question is why?
Why don't they carry their own, instead of relying on government handouts?

Excellent. Good news.
Just to clarify, Navy Lodge is not barracks for sailors or any other form of quarters unless it is special circumstances. Navy Lodges are onbase hotels for military personnel and their families that are generally cheaper. The times they act as quarters is generally for temporary duty where there are some sort of special circumstances or it is a really shortterm assignment.
