Those are pretty poor comparisons. English and basketball can be learned, while changing religions for the sake of convenience isn't as easy.
Why should it be all or nothing? Well. Why do we have any chaplains to begin with? Are they there to help inmates with rehabilitation and guidance, or is there another reason? If you believe they're there to help, then why limit and alienate a population of inmates because "majority rules"?
