Trump said that instead of a separation of church and state, he will bring “religion back to our country.”

Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday establishing a “religious liberty commission” at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.”

During his comments on the order, Trump said that he doesn’t know if there’s a separation of church and state and that we should “forget about that for one time.”

    I knew it was going to be bad, but I wasn’t expecting them to go “the founding fathers were woke” so soon, they must be really confident about their grip on their brainwashed base.

      I agree with you, but i would just remove the harmful ones that indoctrinate from birth, promote segregation, treat humans as property and have legal immunity just because the justice system doesn’t want to meddle with the mess that is Christian paedophilia and familial abuse. The ones that don’t intend to force their belief system onto people and trust that their existence will bring people that are interested, rather than unsolicited house calls or screaming at strangers about their idea of a deity. That’s attractive…

      A document that is being ignored

      It’s in dire need of an overhaul anyway

      But as it stands, it’s still the law. The Tangerine Toddler doesn’t care about the law though, nor do his cultists

      if only that mattered to republicans. Heck they don’t even respect things their own party did previously like fighting to free the slaves or the national parks.

    I’m an exvangelical atheist and I do find myself wishing this whole administration would go rot in hell, so I guess you could say in some small way they’ve brought religion back to my life.

    But seriously, this is fucked.

    I said to a mate a while ago that I thought that trump, (really the republicans), were possibly trying to overturn the enlightenment, and make the country in to a feudal society. Restore the world of gods and kings.

    At the time it was a bit of a joke, but increasingly I’m more concerned about it.

    Homie is basically trying bring back everything American colonists rebelled against. Kings, state religion, massive tariffs. The only missing piece is tea.

    Why does this new Religious Liberty Commission have an expiration date of July 4, 2026?

    And DOGE does too.

      He checks every box for the antichrist. Turning the middle east into a resort would technically be peace.

      It’s the reason the evangelicals love him.

        And this is not a joke either. It’s literally every box for the antichrist

        It’s actually really uncanny just how much he fits the bill, and doubly so regarding how many christians follow and support him

    Trump’s actually great at good governance. All one has to do is carefully listen to his suggestions and then do the exact opposite, and before you know it: Presto! Well-functioning highly-educated modern country with a balanced budget and booming economy.

      Republicans have a lot in common with the church of satan. It’s the satanic temple you probably want.
