Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is the expression "There are no atheists in foxholes" taken to the next level. While at war, soldiers will attend any kind of religious service or speak to any kind of chaplain regardless of their actual religion because that service and/or chaplain is the nearest (or only) one available. A variant is when chaplains of different denominations (or different faiths entirely) will work together in time of need. Sister Trope of Emergency Multifaith Prayer. See also Church of Saint Genericus. |

Joyeux Noël, a film about the Christmas Truce of 1914, has a Christian priest (who is serving as a stetcher-bearer in the British Army) holding a Christmas Eve religious service. After some hesitation, a Jewish German officer joins in. | |

The second volume of Maus features a beautiful moment when Vladek, weeping with sorrow after arriving at Auschwitz, is approached by a Polish priest. He proceeds to comfort Vladek by pointing out how full of good omens the latter's ID tattoo is in the form of several numbers important in Judaic tradition, confidently asserting that Vladek is fated to survive. Vladek states the priest "put another life in me". | |

The SimCity series goes back and forth with this. Sim City 2000 has Christian churches show up at random in residential areas, while Sim City 4 has a non-denominational "house of worship" as an unlockable reward. The 2013 Sim City introduced a house of worship DLC, with the player being free to choose between a church, mosque, (East Asian-style) temple, and "modern temple" as the variants for that building. | |

Discworld has soldiers like Nobby Nobbs, who cheerfully adopts the protective amulets of every religion he can think of, and, being Genre Savvy, carries a Holy Text knowing the God will direct any arrows into it rather than him. To make really sure, it's a pulpit "bible" which is three feet long and nine inches thick, which he wears like a breastplate. | |

One issue of Supreme Power sees agnostic Mark Milton seeking advice from a Catholic priest. The priest give Mark some guidance, though he notes that since Mark isn't a Catholic and isn't particularly penitent, there's only so much he can do. | |

In Schlock Mercenary, the company chaplain, Reverend Theo Forbius, is from an explicitly multidenominational order. On occasion he's even taken the agnostic approach when counseling the mercs. | |

In M*A*S*H, Catholic chaplain Father Mulcahy has performed Jewish ceremonies (including circumcision and saying kaddish) in the absence of a rabbi. He also takes interest in other religious practices, including various Protestant denominations (although he's apparently intimidated by Southern Baptists) and has even sat in on Buddhist services conducted by local Koreans. | |

During the climax of Independence Day, David's father Julius is leading a prayer from the Torah as the aliens prepare to obliterate Area 51. The former Secretary of Defense walks up to join them, but mentions he isn't Jewish. Julius looks up, remarks "Eh, nobody's perfect", then invites him into the circle. | |

Fate/Grand Order: In the backstory, Kiara Sesshouin, normally a Buddhist, got a job as a multi-faith therapist in Seraphix, a facility owned by the Chaldea Security Organisation. One of her discarded journals expresses some confusion over this. | |

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: The computers at the Rifleman Bank Station (in the "Missing Link" DLC) have e-mails from a chaplain who mentions that he not only conducts regular non-denominational services for the Belltower soldiers, but he is also capable of presiding over services for 6 types of Christianity, 3 types of Judaism, 2 types of Hindu, 2 types of Islam, 2 types of Voodoo, 2 types of "Scifi-entology", as well as Rastafarian, Shinto, "Lower South-Side Druidic" Neopaganism, and Ancient Egyptian (!). Either this guy is Crazy-Prepared for the job or, based on his additional comments that he's also up for basketball, boxing, and playing jazz, he might just be really lonely. | |

The page quote is from Starship Troopers: before making a combat jump, everybody is given a chance for prayer with the unit's chaplain, and many of those present take up that offer regardless of what their own faith is. | |
