Forecasting Religious Affiliation in the United States Army

Abstract

The author examines U.S. demographic trends in religious affiliation and compares them with those of the U.S. Army to help the U.S. Army's Office of the Chief of Chaplains anticipate how the religious needs of the population it serves might change. Data on enlisted soldiers, chaplains, and officers in the Regular Army were reviewed, as well as data from a nationally representative survey of the U.S. population.
