Purpose of use

The article, Religious symbolism in the United States military, has a section describing controversies that relate to the use of official U.S. military emblems on religious items in ways that seem to give endorsement to one religion or the idea of religion. Using this image helps illustrate the point of the section, because it certainly appears that the U.S. military, through the Chaplain Corps of each service, is endorsing the Christian Bible in a certain way that those groups do not endorse Holy books of other religions.

Replaceable?

There is no copyright-free version of the book cover available.
