More on the military chaplain ruling

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]sunfell)

Jews On First, an activist Jewish site promoting separation of church and state, has an entire page of articles and links that explore this subject at length.

Congress just flipped their ban on sectarian prayer, and now allows overt sectarian prayer (praying in Jesus name, specifically) in public venues, along with aggressive evangelicism and other coercive tactics by military chaplains. This totally negates the neutrality and support that once made the chaplain corps an advocate for military personnel. Now, people who are 'unchurched' will be targeted by aggressive evangelical chaplains, and the harassment will again escalate within the ranks.
