The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., is home to the only Buddhist chapel on a U.S. military base.
After a controversy over religious intolerance during the summer of 2005, the chapel was built in the basement of the academy's iconic Cadet Chapel.
In 2005, conservative evangelical Christians were accused of trying to force their religion on others. According to current and recently graduated cadets, the religious climate has improved substantially since then.
