Pentagon under Hegseth accused of favoring white evangelical Christianity after cutting religious designations
By
David Edwards
Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is accused of reshaping Pentagon policies to align with white evangelical Christian values, as evidenced by the controversial reduction of official military religious designations from 211 to 31, which notably excluded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Columnist Amanda Marcotte argues this is a deliberate move to create a Pentagon that reflects white evangelical ideology rather than serving the diverse religious needs of military personnel.
