Why Is the Military Spending Millions on Christian Contractors Bent on Evangelizing US Soldiers?

Why Is the Military Spending Millions on Christian Contractors Bent on Evangelizing US Soldiers?: "Why do Christian contractors play such a prominent role in our military?

When the average American thinks of military spending on religion, they probably think only of the money spent on chaplains and chapels. And, yes, the Department of Defense (DoD) does spend a hell of a lot of money on these basic religious accommodations to provide our troops with the opportunity to exercise their religion while serving our country. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the DoD's funding of religion. Also paid for with taxpayer dollars are a plethora of events, programs, and schemes that violate not only the Constitution, but, in many cases, the regulations on federal government contractors, specifically the regulation prohibiting federal government contractors receiving over $10,000 in contracts a year from discriminating based on religion in their hiring practices...."
