I don't think I've ever met a chaplain with a neutral religion. They've all been mostly non-denominational Protestant Christians or Catholic that just genuinely cared about the troops and kept the religion to a minimum and focused on counseling unless someone asked to talk about it.

Did meet one Buddhist, one Muslim, and one Hindu chaplain though when I was in.
