It's essentially religious.
The military force wasn't part of it at first. It might be something worth letting go. It's run it's course. Originally, the military elements were the Inquisition. After Andraste died, there were various Andrastian factions running around. The Chantry and the Inquisition were two of them. But the Inquisition were zealots when it came to hunting mages. The Chantry believed mages deserved dignity and could still contribute to society.
The Chantry eventually managed to quell the Inquistion and incorporate them -- and they channeled that hatred into forming the Circles. They thought it was a compromise to protect mages and keep the mage hunters from acting like jackasses. This eventually became the Templar order.
It's kind of like a company merger.. but now the company has split up again into it's original elements. What the Chantry is now is back to it's original form.. a religious organization.
It's still political, though. The Chantry's denouncement of the Inquisitor is described as "politics" by Mike Laidlaw. Furthermore, Cullen and Josephine argue about the Chantry's diplomatic capacity (in that same link).
Divine Justinia, whom Cassandra trusted more than anyone else, was a political moderate who tried to negotiate peace between the mages and the templars. With her death (and those of thousands of others), the Chantry is experiencing political infighting. Cassandra no longer believes in the Chantry's ability to attend to the concerns of Thedas, especially the existential threat posed by the Breach. She spent over 20 years devoting herself to the Chantry.
The new Inquisition is decidedly political and areligious (and young), but Cassandra is part of it because it was planned by justinia. However, the uncertainty surrounding the organization (in the absence of the Divine) and the mysterious nature of the Inquisitor will presumably challenge her (political) beliefs.
