DOD Officially Drops 180 Faiths From Military's Recognized Religion List

59. Yep. Just erase the 5% of Atheists,...

the 0.5% of Unitarian universalists, 0.4% wiccan/neopagan, 0.3% of Humanists (with more than 2% generally identifying with secular humanism), and so on.

Of the exclusions, excluding Atheists is the strangest. Seems the military would like that category because it wouldn't require much in the way of customized religious/spiritual support.

I don't know the percentages that identify with all the other groups are, but at a guess, I think the exclusion of Atheists erases the most people in one go.

Guess Hegseth thinks the saying "there are no Atheists in fox holes" is some sort of statement of fact.
