The coalition also wants President-elect Obama to develop a new directive for all chaplains and commanders that eliminates public prayers from any mandatory-attendance events for troops and ensures the Defense Department will not endorse any single religion, or even the idea of religion over nonreligion.

And so, their solution is to endorse nonreligion over religion?

Sounds like a logical conclusion to me.

Option A: religion over nonreligion
Option B: nonreligion over religion
Option C: equal treatment of both
Option D: neutrality with respect to both

The preference is for the Constitutional treatment: A combination of D and C with D taking precedence by default and C being accommodated when neutrality is infeasible. And of course private expressions in private activities remain unrestricted.
