The Trump administration completely ignoring the first amendment has decided to only allow 31 religious that service members may hold.  And it is actually considerably less than that as half of them are flavors of Christianity.

That will last exactly as longas Trump holds office...and probably not that long.

^^^ I don't expect it to survive judicial review even with a trump appointed judges

I am not too worried about this one.

It seems like this has to do with military providing services for certain religions at time of death and certain ones with very low numbers won't be catered to, right?

A big nothing here completely misrepresented in the original post.

And the evangelical right is sitting back saying "That's right, nothing to see here..."

It doesn't say you can't practice your religion, just that Father Mulcahy doesn't haven't to be up to speed on what your religion is.

It says your religion is not recognized by the DOD (US Gov't). And unlike the "official" religions no support needs to be provided. 

Or in the case of Judaism which has four distinct branches which are as different from each other as Catholic is to Baptist now completely inappropriate support will be provided the majority of the time. 

Considering how Muslims are treated in other countries, I'm not surprised.   That being said, any court will rule this unconstitutional.

They had to amend this because the Mormons got mad that LDS wasn't listed as a form of Christianity.

In a vacuum, I don't care about this, but these people aren't acting in good faith and there's a religious war within the right that I don't understand.

Ding-Ding-Ding...we have a winner!
