Secretarul american al Apărării creează un birou pentru religie la Pentagon: „Departamentul nostru își pune întreaga armură a lui Dumnezeu”

The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, announced the establishment of a new Office of Religious Affairs at the Pentagon to support military chaplains. This office will report directly to the Secretary and aims to provide high-level religious support. Hegseth emphasized the spiritual aspect of military service, referencing Christian beliefs in his speech. The office will not mandate participation in religious activities or favor any specific faith, ensuring the rights of all service members are respected. Critics have raised concerns about the potential promotion of Christianity within military policies. The new office follows a history of similar initiatives in previous administrations, though it comes amid a reduction in officially recognized religious affiliations within the Department of Defense.
