Group seeks probe of evangelical military video

I just read about the Christian Embassy in this post on Crooks and Liars. In that post, you can find a link to the video which is mentioned in this Reuters news story, Group seeks probe of evangelical military video.

A watchdog group that promotes religious freedom in the U.S. military accused senior officers on Monday using their rank and influence to coerce soldiers and airmen into adopting evangelical Christianity.

Such proselytizing, according to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has created a core of "radical" Christians within the U.S. armed forces and
Pentagon who punish those who do not accept evangelical beliefs by stalling their careers.

"It's egregious beyond the pale," said Mikey Weinstein, president and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. "We apparently have a radicalized, evangelical Christian Pentagon within the rest of the Pentagon."

See also the Military Religious Freedom Foundation's website and blog. Weinstein is the author of With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's Military.
