Trump seeks end of separation of church and state to push Christian values

politicsJun 27, 202615749

A Trump administration advisory body called the Religious Liberty Commission released a draft report arguing that the traditional concept of separation of church and state is a legal error and urging a shift toward "building bridges" between religion and government. The commission, filled almost entirely by conservative Christians, recommends the Justice Department adopt an "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution's religion clauses and treats religion as an "essential support" that should be injected into public life. The draft also calls for rolling back civil rights requirements for religious institutions, according to reporting circulating with the document. The document's release prompted mass protests planned for the day it appeared and drew public comment from officials such as Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who said the Constitution does not include separation of church and state. News outlets including the Associated Press, NBC News, and others have reported on the commission's recommendations and the White House publication of the draft. The report could trigger policy changes if the Justice Department or federal agencies adopt the commission's originalist framework for enforcing the religion clauses.

If you end the separation then the churches should pay all taxes.

So, the world’s vilest group of Faux Christians wants to make us all followers of their doctrine? Do I have that right?

“ We in the United States, above all, must remember that lesson, for we were founded as a nation of openness to people of all beliefs. And so we must remain. Our very unity has been strengthened by our pluralism. “- Ronald Reagan

I'm not surprised they can't separate Church from State when they can't separate fact from fiction.

Trump wants to end separation of church & state to promote Christian values. If he ends that separation what is to stop localities or states from imposing Muslim or Jewish values? Regardless, no law can force Christian teachings on anyone. The state shall establish no religion...

Nothing would stop it. But NO RELIGION should be government sanctioned, approved, favored, etc. I don't care what flavor. The founders were clear on this. Not up for debate.

Grouchy Gramma2

Nobody seems to understand the REAL target. It's not JUST forcing religion on us.. that's the appetizer. Trump has a problem with the entire 1st amendment as a whole. If the Heritage Foundation wins this one... the same arguments can be applied to speech, press, etc. The 1st amendment is the meal.

NO just because you decree it won't make it happen. You must then tax the church.

I'm pretty sure that the oath sworn decrees that the office holder must preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Have any of these assholes ever read the constitution?

Whenever Trump’s cult has a discussion of “church” or religion - it never seems to include anything other than the Evangelical version of the bible - more a cudgel than comfort; more evil than ethical, more He-man women hater’s club than Congregation.

The more they push their “Christian ideologies” the further I get from religion.

This is extremely rich coming from the guy whose faction in the church has the most banal, black-and-white position of "trite platitudes" on (say) sexuality (let's preclude here from the fact that this hypocrite has been shown to be an aficionado of gay thirst trap accounts on facebook)

Famously, JD Vance was one of the very last persons to meet with Pope Francis. The vice president had great respect for the frail pope and was extremely grateful that the pontiff had granted him an audience literally the day before his death. Vance’s meeting with Vatican diplomats was less satisfying. Cardinal Parolin, the secretary of state, raised serious concerns about the Trump administration’s policy regarding immigration. Though he acknowledged that the U.S. had a right to control its borders, he encouraged Vance to treat migrants humanely. But what did the Vatican object to exactly? Deportations in general? Deportations of criminals? The pace of deportations? Vance claims he got no answers and remained flabbergasted that “the Vatican seemed unwilling to move its moral guidance past the point of trite platitudes.” It’s a damning observation, but I confess to sympathizing with it, for I have found the same tendency too often when the Church addresses complex political matters.

For so many years, the separation of church and state was a pretty solid concept until these brilliant minds started hanging out in what's left of the White House. And of all people, Donald Trump is the theologian in chief! LOL!
