Atheist activism in fun and exotic places...
I'll be traveling to Afghanistan for a few months in about a week. I just thought the trolls could give a new member a few ideas of how i can have some fun in such an already super fun part of the world. Ideas?

Keep your head down, your hopes up and try a lot of streatching exercises. The streatching is so that in case of trubble you con bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

If man was formed from dirt, why is there still dirt?
Are there any RRS stickers for sale? I suppose I could do some sticker tagging. Are there any other foxhole Atheist trolling around here?

I use to just piss off the theists, well not your run of the mill average ones, just the one that loved to say things like, "start praying we might not get out of this alive", I use to respond with "DON'T PRAY, DO YOUR DAMN JOB AND WE MIGHT GET OUT ALIVE". Because in the middle of a fire fight the last thing you need to do is pray, shoot at those shooting at you, and u might live.
However it helps having a many others that have similar beliefs regarding god with you, since I have no clue where your from, US, Canada, Briton etc, it might be wise not to say such things, especially if it's your commanding officer saying it. You can also try having free thought groups (you know to counter those prayer groups or christians groups that can form, especially with the american forces, at least that was my experience) there is also atheists-online.com to buy some stuff as wellm plus other stuff for sale on this website http://www.cafepress.ca/respondrational or ehttp://www.evolvefish.com/fish/rrs.html

Just read this Harper's article about the creeping in of religious harassment in the military. Hope you don't get any of that.

But leaving the sarcasm aside, I admire your courage and devotion to the cause. I suggest that you first let them know what the science exactly is and how good it is. For example, you might put here and there some popular science magazines. But their language might be a problem.
Btw, isn't Afghanistan a country full of Muslims? Why would you then choose parodies of a Christian symbol?
