I can not personally speak about the climate in the AF but from what I understand the Air Force Academy took steps to ensure that no one was abusing their power. The Air Force may be chock full of fundamentalists praying all over everything but the mere existence of religionists in your midst is not a threat to your personal liberty. I had the good fortune to be born without that particular affliction of faith but was still exposed to it on a daily basis all through out my life. I have known many very religious people in the military, superiors and subordinates alike, but regardless of their beliefs they have all had the good sense not to push their beliefs on anyone else. I have been alive for forty five years and have never felt someone else practicing their religion was a threat to my moral autonomy. If I had been born in a different place or time I might have something to worry about. Outside the military there are examples of religious groups trying to push thier morality on society as a whole, but if you've been reading the newspapers, it hasn't been working out to well for them.
