I found this really interesting, and there is no intent to beat up on religions at all, this involves where the military is at regarding fairly serious and fractious religious strife. When I was in the military nobody ever breathed a word about religion except to make it clear that the base chaplain was available to all. If you did not go to church or visit the base chaplain you never really heard anything about it. I had a born again room mate that lived and breathed in the lord, so I heard it but was okay with it and had long discussions with him.
I saw an article where the founder of the MRFF organization is getting death threats against he and his wife, so I started digging into what they are dealing with from a religious discrimination and abuse perspective. It is not nearly what I thought it would be in terms of who the clients are that are looking for help getting some form of religious persecution stopped.
My guess is that if you tried to guess what the bulk of the problems are you'd be as wrong as I was, I figured it would be minority sect cases like perhaps muslims and jews being harassed, or christians that are being persecuted for being christian. The stats sort of set up a base for understanding what they are dealing with.
...of a staff of over 500, 80% are categorized as practicing christians of different denomination
...95% of their client's that have a complaint are christian
...80% of the abusers involved are harder christians proselytizing or pressuring other christians
So I looked into their publication at a list of cases that they had successfully handled, they are not only interesting, but they tend to show the wisdom of the military keeping a policy of separation between the military and religion, which by the way has been destroyed by a relatively new regulation that allows religious displays and proselytizing if it is what the person believes, wh**ever that means. So now the military has a new problem they never really had before because it used to be against regulations to let it be a thing.
So here is a case, and I did some thinking about it because at first glance my reaction was so frigging what? A commander had a big framed sign and a cross in his office that said it was a religious license for fishing for men to bring into god's fold. This was making enough people uncomfortable with their commander that a dozen people, mostly christian themselves went to the base JAG saying that this was a violation of military religious regulations. The JAG informed them of the wording of the new regulation that allowed for expressions of a religious nature as long as it was what this officer believed.
The people who had filed the complaint responded by making a certificate to hang on their walls that was an arrest warrant for those displaying fishing licenses for men, they showed it to the JAG and the officer was told to remove his fishing license and other religious displays from any squadron spaces.
Here is the rundown on that case, it's interesting, and the only people who will have a problem will be those with a bias that sees this as religious persecution rather than the wisdom of the military keeping a religious free zone policy.
