Yeah, I think most folk who attend or view the event want to recognise and remember all people who have been impacted by war, regardless of their religious views.
I feel that, looking at the countries and faith communities represented at the event, the ceremony is a reasonable match of both those who have been impacted and of the country today but, yes, I can see why some folk aren't so happy with the "who talks and who doesn't" aspect. Offhand, I think my personal preference would be for a more secular service... but that is a difficult call as it appears that religious groups from a key part in leading the charity and organisation aspects of the event.
