Implications of the World's Changing Religious Landscape for the Chaplain Corps
Abstract
The world is growing more religious at the same time as the United States is becoming increasingly secular. Because religion provides the basic worldview and spiritual support for most of the world, this growing divide between the religious world and the secular west promises a future more fraught with misunderstanding and conflict. In order to address this growing divide, the Department of Defense needs to intentionally build capacity for religious engagement, not just in combat and stability operations, but also before conflict begins. By building bridges between the religious world and the secular west, the United States may be able to build peace and prevent war.
