The funneral isn't about them, it's about the dead service member and their family. I bet you ten bucks, though, that this is more about a bureaucrat "following" the rules rather than an atheist laying down the law on separation of church and state. You see this type of crap in VA hospitals all the time with lifetime employees who can't be fired.
