Should an Atheist Soldier Have to Attend a Prayer in the Army if a Chaplain Leads One in a Ceremony?

Question by : Should an atheist soldier have to attend a prayer in the army if a chaplain leads one in a ceremony?
A ceremony like change of command, awards ceremony, prior to first airborne jump, etc. Or should an atheist have to attend a prayer after a mission brief? Or should an atheist have to attend a mandated “biblical ” as part of a class for all married soldiers prior to returning from a deployment?

I have been told I had to be present for all of the above. Is this right?
