It seems to vary heavily by job, and then by rank. I've always worked in a joint environment and most everybody I've ever worked with is atheist or close to it. Usually the few religious folks are SNCOs, which makes sense as chugging kool aid and being in a restrictive environment is something they enjoy

This time the PLA soldiers are digging defences, preparing bunkers, moving in heavy vehicles and have reportedly even moved artillery guns to the rear (albeit in their own territory) to support the intruders, say the sources. It doesn't say whether or not they're building bunkers and deploying artillery on their side of the line or inside India's territory, but, uh... either way, yikes.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. *Pestilence option not available before 1906. **May not apply in all regions.

On the one hand, neither India or China would materially benefit from a border dispute conflict and certainly not full-out war, but when you put two overconfident strongmen in a room and both feel like being seen to back down would undermine their rule, the odds they'll settle on a mutually face-saving modus vivendi edge downward. As a fan of neither country's leadership, the only thing holding me back from rooting them on to all-out war would be the mind-boggling civilian death toll.
