I don't think it's as black and white as "the war is secular".
I know a sergeant serving in Afghanistan right now that's convinced that he's fighting the evil Muslims for Jesus. Why does he think this? Because the military is overwhelmingly Christian, the American poor are overwhelmingly Christian, there are plenty of Christian chaplains that are either afraid to stand up to crusading or support it, and the previous administration made it pretty clear that the Judeo-Christian god had a role to play in this war.
