    Can you be a non-religious chaplain? That feels like discrimination if there’s a religious requirement.

    Edit: As of 2018 at least, nope.

      Part of the roles of a Navy Chaplain are to provide religious services. This is inherently a religious role, it should not be expected that an atheist or “non-theist” will perform these roles correctly.
