While those were the top 10 current events articles in 2011, they were not the top-visited pages on the site.  As noted many times before, ChristianFighterPilot.com serves a diverse audience.  The two most frequently accessed pages were the Fighter Pilot FAQ and Fighter Pilot Speak.

As with more recent years, issues of religion and the military are less common on “top ten” lists this year than they were several years ago (with the notable exception of the international merging of military and religion, the Arab Spring):  ChristianityToday, The Associated Press, Stars and Stripes, Baptist Press, and the Baptist Joint Committee.

The Religion Clause did note the controversies over DOMA and homosexual marriage, which included the issue of military Chaplains, as its number one story, with crosses in public as number two (though it didn’t mention Camp Pendleton).
