When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

Grow in grace?!? You've got to be kidding me. Did grace show up when Good and Pretti were murdered? When the regime threw brown people into concentration camps?

.....Satan could quote the Bible the very best..... actions speak louder than words and this Nazi regime is FAR from being sane or religious.... Hitler was also another faker.... When a federal agency tries to spew a specific religion, they are no longer an agency but propaganda....

So tired of this bullshit. Hitler believed in divine providence as well. None of these moronic fuckers were “chosen by god.” The cult of Christian nationalism is just as dangerous as the cult of trumpism.

So much for the separation of church and state. I hope when this administration is finally gone we can shore up some obvious loopholes in the limits of federal governance. Many on both sides would think this "radical" but holy crap people, look how quicly they ignored norms and toothless laws.

This is par for the course from a government department that paints an idyllic picture of America after 100 MILLION deportations (which would involve a lot of citizens, presumably non-whites, Muslims etc). How can someone like Kash Patel work for this administration?

I believe Catholics not being Christians became a big thing here when immigrants from “heavily Catholic” (i.e. Ireland and Italy) countries came to America in droves. Even the JFK campaign had to tend with the “fear” of a Catholic becoming POTUS in 1960!

It wouldn’t be so bad if they ACTUALLY LIVED THEIR FAITH. But it isn’t that they believe it . They just want to force it on the rest of us. The very thing the founders were against.

they already took Democracy out back and blew its brains out when they refused to convict on Trump's first impeachment. The US government has been walking around like a headless chicken bleeding out ever since.

If America has turned into an exclusively "Christian" nation where everyone else's human rights are trampled or ignored except for those who believe and think the way they do then I'd like to opt-out thank you very much.

Don't have nightmares. Elections are controlled by the states, and Trump cannot change that. And only the red states are loyal to him. If they don't vote, it would hurt the GOP even more. We will be voting in November.

How about Number Chapter 5 Verse 12: "If a wife lays with another man and becomes pregnant by that man the husband can take the wife before a priest who will force her to drink the bitter water and have an abortion." The bible condones abortion. If the man is the one deciding.

Makes one wonder where SCOTUS Sam Alito got his research from to declare abortion illegal in America, considering he knows about separation of church and state, and GOD is the biggest provider of abortion.

The fundamentalist evangelical Christians (of Project 2025 infamy) who have largely taken over our country aren't really Christians at all, they're Christo-fascists. They want to make America into a theocracy & have Israel start the final world war so their savior will rapture them all up to heaven.

Fake christianz never tire of faking Christianity! It's all about getting the most money possible from the flock of gullibles. It's blasphemy! Everything they attempt to center around Christianity has a monetary cost attached. The create CUKTure wars for power and profit! Who exactly is winning? 🙄

It's something that gets quoted a lot but this is quite literally the beginning of the Handmaid's Tale." The takeover by a religion based government that uses religion as a tool, rule in the hands of a small group of people and declining birth rates and leading to forced reproduction.

JFK - “voters are more than Catholics, Protestants or Jews. They make up their minds for many diverse reasons, good and bad. To submit the candidates to a religious test is unfair enough - to apply it to the voters themselves is divisive, degrading and wholly unwarranted.”

jfklibrary.orgRemarks of Senator John F. Kennedy at American Society of Newspaper Editors, Washington, D.C., April 21, 1960I have decided, in view of current press reports, that it would be appropriate to speak with you today about what has widely been called

There is no government anymore, and our democracy has been long gone. There’s only demented criminals and grift. The only people keeping things going are what’s left of the workforce that’s been there through other administrations. They will get to them. I really wish everyone would wake up.

man made religion not Isho's(jesus real name). He did not come to be worshipped or start a church. Man is destroying what Isho taught! He knows the truth.

I was at a funeral over the weekend and this was the message, although not delivered with animosity or fire. I felt sorry for them with such a narrow and inflexible world view but they seemed very happy about it all. Everything preordained. No free will. They found it comforting.

They won't be there to spend eternity with. They distort God's Word and refuse Jesus Teachings. They are the wicked whose path shall not be followed as theirs is the road to hell; not salvation. There is no forgiveness for them.

Plus they are now the antithesis of the world view they claim to hold. It’s a violation of our Constitution and a hi-jacking of a religion to cover over their terrible acts as well.

i don't know "grow in grace - as our stormtrooping, masked, anonymous, unwarranted, unbadged, white van, black bagging goon squads terrorize your neighborhoods." it's an unusual message. i guess it's another command. put your hands behind your back... stop filming, give me your phone, grow in grace

Jesus Christ is not America’s Savior. He is a savior for those who believe in Christianity. The United States is a secular country that is governed by the laws set out in the US Constitution, where God is never mentioned. The United States laws are based on the constitution, not the Bible.

So do we now re-name the Department of Homeland Security as the Department of Homeland Christianity of the Church of Saint Trump Racism and Convenience? Blessed be the rich for they shall grift til they drop

Not Homeland Security, they used to spread freedom, love, and acceptance for all and were absolutely not at all a fascist anti democracy group before Trump happened.

Want to fight the Anti-Trans, Anti-Reproductive Rights Christian Nationalist pro-religious war agenda? START USING THE ACTUAL WORDS: “FIRST AMENDMENT AGAINST RELIGIOUS TYRANNY. Repeat it until we OWN it they way they own the words “Second Amendment”

My great-grandparents immigrated to America for religious freedom and economic opportunity. They didn't come here to have Christianity shoved in their faces by government agencies. The arrogance and hubris of these weird bastards are off the charts.

The general American ignorance of history is genuinely a mystery to the rest of the world. A country founded because puritans needed to get away from anglicans now wants everybody to believe that every brand of Christianity out there is equivalent, and won't eventually exterminate others.

They understand the history of Christianity just fine That's why you're seeing a new War of the Reformation This time it isn't papists v. everybody else, but those who take the faith seriously v. those who think it's a benign social club

It's astoundingly distressing how American education has shriveled to the point of having millions of ignoramuses willing to vote for a traitor, felon, and rapist. Americans as a whole have become just plain stupid. I'm grateful for those who aren't.

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ All of this and more because they want the white crook over the Black (female) Veep Now they must reckon with the complete destruction of our constitution, courts, our systems of keeping law & order, dismantling voting, education + any vestiges of programs to help AMERICANS - all gone 😒

North America had colonies of all sorts of different people, and was not founded until the Constitution was adopted which was over 100 years after first English settlements in New England.

Actually, the Puritans went to Holland/Netherlands, but their kids started learning Dutch and becoming more tolerant, so they fled for New England. The settlement of Philadelphia by Quakers was much less prone to witchcraft hysteria and bad relationships with the indigenous people.

The Puritan rule in the UK came after the Puritan era in Massachusetts: 1649–1653. Mayflower landing was late 1620. Harvard was founded in 1639. Salem witch trials: February 1692 and May 1693. This was why the US Bill of Rights banned any US established religion.

Well, these people using Christianity to form a new cult of personality to cover their evil deeds, are a transparent joke. Other religions believe Jesus was a prophet, but not a deity. However, don’t think they would use him as a prop that these charlatans do

Deuteronomy 5:8 "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Genesis 17:14 "Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."

Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name (...) they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." Waiting for someone to prove this pls.

1 Peter 3:9 "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." Psalm 137:9 "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."

And ironically, these “christians” tend to quote from the Old Testament much more often than quoting what Jesus Christ actually said in the NEW Testament.

None of this is new, none of it is original. Fascists lack creativity or depth. They are vapid oportunists who will destroy everything we have achieved to feel superior. In a decade folks will be embarrassingly burning their parents box of maga gear they find under the bed when dad goes to a home.

Look I am Christian. This is stupid. We are not a Christian nation. We are a country that allows freedom of or from religion. That is how our constitution is written. This Christian nationalism is trash! If youre confused please read the red letters in the bible. Jesus will lead you if you allow him

“Read the red letters…” Read it dozens of times, went to several years of abusive Christian private school, Christian Nationalist parents, and tons of physical abuse in God’s name. Good for you, but most of us don’t want to hear it. My experience with God’s love was bruises, welts, pain, and tears.

Then an adulthood of folks on social media trying to excuse it, like my story wasn’t the story of kids all of over our nation. Trying to tell me my experience wasn’t a Christian one. No, God’s name was invoked over and over during the beatings. It was very Christian based.

Its funny how people immediately have a problem with the slightest signs of theocracy but only when it's in their own country. When it's in lets say Iran, it's a cool exotic culture that must be protected from all those bigots.

This really comes back to Tim Walz's "weirdos" line, doesn't it? Politicians and government bodies performatively spouting religious quotes is a really weird thing to do in any modern democracy and should be met with embarrassed silence before the originator is quietly removed to a retirement home.

It’s worse when they don’t even follow the religion they pretend to mandate. They can quote the Bible all they want it still doesn’t make them moral or good and highlights how there is nothing off limits to those without morals.

Yes but they’re grossly outnumbered by the politically agnostic who figured both sides were the same or some silly shit every time elections rolled around.

To come to the conclusion that "both sides are the same" is iconic for the intellectually challenged. They must have skipped those days in elementary school where we learned, "which of these things is not like the others"

As an X southern baptist, born-again Atheist for 50+ years, I wanta know which god does the USA trust, surely not the maga christian nazis confederate god or republican racism and misogyny god or evangelical uneducated all the above gods. Which christian god does the USA trust? Never trust a god.

Hi. If you are responding to my comment about my mother's reaction to JFK's election, the point was blind prejudice. It did not matter that the President kept his religious beliefs out of politics. As per the thread, her problem was his Catholicism.

Thanks. I appreciate the clarification highlighting the prejudice. I meant my comment as affirmation of your point. With all the anti Catholic sentiment and fear of the Pope, JFK didn’t bring any of that explicitly into government or government language.

1. A religion & government should never be combined in a country with multiple different religions and cultures. 2. Christianity is a personal journey (not a religion). Just like bringing in your personal trainer to impose his guidance on a nation, Christianity should not be used in the same way.

That's a stark warning, especially when we see what's happening in certain countries. Can you think of any recent examples in the US that might fit this bill? 🤔

Seriously what the literal F*CK is this sh*t!??? I am BEYOND sick of it...fuck djt and his zionist nazi confederate woman, child, trans...literally everyone...hating death cult and everyone still enabling this!!!

Yeah an atheist in the bible belt is a challenge. „a perfect example of ecosystem change, is to watch how a blackberry patch…“ „Put there by god.“ „No. Probably by a bird eating and then…“ „Again, the bird was out there by god.“ 😬😬🤦‍♂️ Atheism- not believing in only 1 less god than most people.
