Definición

  • Since the founding of the nation, the U.S. military has appreciated the value of both organized religion and religious nationalism (civil religion) in achieving its national security goals. Colonial militias called upon ministers for prayer, but it would be the religious underpinnings of the Revolutionary War that began the formal interaction between the military and religion that has persevered to today.
