TOPEKA, Kan. — A Fort Riley soldier says he faces threats from fellow soldiers because he’s filed a religious discrimination lawsuit.

Spc. Jeremy Hall filed a formal statement Wednesday with the Army. He says he overheard a conversation between two sergeants in his platoon and one wanted to “bust Hall in the mouth.”

Hall says he faces the animosity because he is an atheist and is suing the Department of Defense. He alleges it permits a culture that pushes fundamentalist Christianity.

He says he does not feel safe his unit.

Fort Riley spokeswoman Alison Kohler says the Army doesn’t comment on matters related to pending litigation. She does not know whether Fort Riley officials are investigating Hall’s statement.
