fwiw a military "spiritual fitness" test is currently under investigation. USMil says it's an optional test and the taker's scores are only available to promotion review committees if the taker voluntarily submits them w/his or her file. The plaintiffs claim that it is not so 'voluntary' as that and commanders can and do use it to reinforce a Christian (and a specific kind of Christian) military.
There are other more anecdotal bits of info I could share. While it's a long leap from pushing xianity to calling a Crusade, for some commanders I have no difficulty believing that rhetoric has been used.
