TOPEKA, Kan. — Attorneys for a Fort Riley soldier suing the government over alleged religious freedom violations have been granted more time to file arguments with the federal court.
A Kansas City, Kan., judge granted the request Tuesday, giving attorneys for Spc. Jeremy Hall and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation until Sept. 15 to file the documents.
Those arguments will respond to the government’s motion to dismiss the case, which has been filed against an Army reservist and Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Hall and the foundation allege his religious freedoms were violated while he was serving in Iraq last year. In addition, they claim that Gates permits a culture of Christian fundamentalism within the military.
