Not just an American problem. This used to happen to me every year at army cadet camp in the summers. On Sundays they would march us off to the church, and then divide everyone into "Catholic" and "Other". Other meant you got the Protestant minister. There was no option to do anything else.

This was Canada circa 1992. Eventually I started faking heat stroke. Lying under a wet blanket for 2 hours was preferable to being preached at. Frankly, given the choice to clean the barracks, I would have happily done that.

Not sure what the policy is these days.
