Megyn Kelly tells atheist activist to ‘chill’ during Fox News discussion on Air Force oath

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly got into a heated exchange with an atheist activist during Wednesday evening’s broadcast.

During a “Kelly File” segment on a campaign to remove the phrase, “so help me God,” from the U.S. Air Force Academy’s honor oath, guest Mikey Weinstein thanked the host for inviting him into “Fox world.”

The former Air Force officer and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation argued that the phrase violated the Constitution’s establishment clause and the ban on religious tests for federal employees.

Kelly asked Weinstein several times why the phrase couldn’t remain in place but make it optional for cadets who recited the oath, and the host and guest began to talk over one another as they each tried to make their points.

I didn't know that about John Quincy Adams.
