Revised Pentagon religious codes drop pagans and other minority faiths. Here's what to know
In a list released in May, the Trump administration dropped atheists, the Unitarian Universalist Church and other minority faiths who have to identify as "other" or "no religious preference."
The Pentagon recently cut the number of "faith and belief" codes it uses to identify members of the military from more than 200 to 31.
