When “Streamlining” Means Erasing: Pagans in Uniform Deserve Better
The Department of Defense says it is streamlining religious-affiliation codes, but for Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Heathen, Humanist, Atheist, and other minority-belief service members, that “streamlining” looks a lot like disappearance. Religious liberty is not measured by how comfortably the majority is served. It is measured by whether minority faiths can be named, counted, and respected.
The Department of Defense has reduced its recognized religious affiliation codes from more than 200 to just 31, eliminating Pagans, Asatru, Druidry, and Wicca, along with numerous other minority faiths and secular worldviews, in a move officials say will streamline chaplaincy support for service members.
