Ugh.

I don’t get how people can read that and not see a problem with flying religious flags over navy ships, military bases, etc. The “Well, they’ve always done it/it’s tradition” excuse is just that: an excuse.

The separation under 1A is very important, BUT the military chaplaincy is one of those special cases that prove the rule. The majority of our soldiers are believers. It would be ridiculous to deny them the structure of religious support while asking them to go uphill against a machinegun.

The government puts religious symbols on their Government Issue tombstones, too. That includes atheists, if they want.
