Defense Department to drop atheists, pagans, 175 others from list of military faiths

Really what you have is 10. The reason why most of them are Christian is only because they broke those down. They could have done the same for the other ones like Islam.

Was just thinking that, beyond the apparent fact that Hegseth's announcement went over (rightly) like a lead balloon, maybe it would be enlightening to contemplate what categories would exist. I guess you could have...

1. Christian
2. Jewish
3. Muslim
4. Atheistic/Agnostic
5. Hindu
6. Buddhist
7. Taoist
8. Satanist
9. European pre-Christian
10. African pre-Christian
11. Asian pre-Christian
12. North American Indigenous pre-Christian
13. Central American Indigenous
14. South American Indigenous...

But then with some of the "interesting" new religions, you'd have the question of what categories they'd fit into. And on the light side, we could say:

1. Fundamental Baptists
2. Satanists
