They should drop all of them, because Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

This restructuring of faith codes, which help identity service members as well as the military in planning for appropriated religious coverage to include them, has now excluded minority faith/worldview groups including Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans.
lol how are you going to exclude atheists.
They did leave "No Religion" as an option, I think that still applies.
Looking at that list, there are many that I'm not familiar with, but Wicca is definitely a religion, isn't it? Maybe they left "Wicca" in the list and removed specific types of Wicca? It's not completely clear, but anyways, if they completely removed Wicca, then a Wiccan wouldn't have a way to answer.
Troth
That's a new one for me
Ah the Trump covid testing strategy. If you don't look for cases then they will simply not exist.
Let the lawsuits commence
Please, take my tax money.
wow. unitarian universalists. thats more christian than mormans.
It's hilarious that Jehovah's Witnesses, who refuse military service altogether (even non-combat) and kick out members who join the military, are directly recognized, while Mormons (who have no such restrictions on military service) are not. Evangelicals consider both of them to be basically heretical.
Like everything Hegseth touches is just clearly being touched by a know-nothing dumbfuck.
Edit: well I feel dumb, they are there. I stand by my Hegseth comments however.
The Mormons are there:
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (CJ)
Amusingly, it's usually shortened as LDS. But it's CJ in the military for some reason...
All of the crazy Christian faiths are on the list, unsurprisingly.
What's more surprising is that the Defense Secy's Church of Quentin Tarantino isn't.
Don't let your children near christians.
