Religious freedom is guaranteed in our constitution, yet the military regularly discriminates based on religion. Atheist soldiers have been harassed, denied promotion, and threatened by superior officers. Why is the organization designed to defend our rights and nation not respecting the people who bravely volunteered for duty? Side: No
Perhaps it's because people of faith have an easier time following orders without question. I'll admit that is purely an opinion, but it makes sense that if you're willing to make a leap of faith and believe in an omnipresent higher power that you might be more inclined to have faith in your Generals that they are making the right decisions for you. Side: No

Christian soldiers would be willing to die more than secular soldiers, in my opinion, thus my answer would be no. Yes, Christian soldiers would be more willing to do more dangerous missions I would assume since they have nothing to fear if they die, but they would allow themselves to die before a secular soldier since they have the promise of an afterlife while a secular soldier knows that he must hold onto life because he does not get anything else afterwards. Side: No
