The White House will host a Christian Nationalist rally! - Friendly Atheist



The Trump White House is backing a massive “Rededicate 250” event on the National Mall this weekend that blends patriotism, government power, and conservative Christianity into one giant revival.

With MAGA pastors, military bands, and taxpayer-supported promotion, this is less about faith and more about pushing Christian Nationalism while rewriting America’s secular history.

In a "normal" administration with a "normal" congress, there would be multiple impeachments by now. But the "normies" aren't in charge and "normal" behavior will have to be legislated into law because a new standard has been set, at least for the Rethuglicans.

I've seen these 'Christians' in the throes of religious ecstasy. Scary to witness. Like being on drugs.
