Expanding on an earlier post that buried the lede under a "There can be only one" Highlander graphic:
The US military dropped 180 different faiths from its list of recognized religions, while retaining distinct codes for 21 or 22 Christian (depending on how Latter Day Saints / Mormons get pigeonholed) groups. Unitarian Universalists got dropped from the list, as did Deists -- despite the fact that some signers of the Constitution identified as Deists, Unitartians, or Universalist.
Jewish? That's listed, but no distinction among Orthodox/Reform/Liberal/Reconstruction, etc.
Islamic? The difference between Sunni and Shia likely matters to you, but not to your commanders.
Pagan? Wiccan? Druid? Fuggedaboudit.
I know people who worked for years to get some recognition for non-Abrahamic religions in the US military -- if only to keep clergy from trying to convert them! We cheered as people who chose to serve in the military were recognized as more than "other".
And now there's not a single recognition of any Pagan or NeoPagan group -- but there are more than 20 flavors of Christian. Because to this regime, that's what matters.
