They did have a chaplain I think, in the first or second game, I can't remember which. But they were more like a regular military chaplain, not a specially religious leader.

Yea, okay, I guess it would be more accurate to say that religion never defined them as a faction in the lore

The BoS chaplain is, in the lore, supposed to be the go-between of the scribes and the soldiers, basically the armored scientist who has the scientific know-how to know if a site is actually worth further investigation or occupation. Because of this they are also generally in command of larger objective sites.

They are not 'religious leaders' except in the idea that they are the 'heralds of prewar science'.

Ah, there we go. I assumed that they were army chaplains based on the name. Though I guess the creators of this show did as well, and didn't bother to actually play the games to find out.
