The gathering has been organised by the White House as part of a programme of celebrations for America’s 250th birthday and, in a video message inviting Americans to attend, Hegseth said it was an opportunity to “rededicate this republic to God and country”.
Muscular Christian nationalism has enjoyed a prominent platform since Trump’s return to power, and evangelicals form a core element of the president’s support base.
I thought America was a secular state?
A secular state is an idea pertaining to secularity, whereby a state is or purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion.[1] A secular state claims to treat all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and claims to avoid preferential treatment for a citizen based on their religious beliefs, affiliation or lack of either over those with other profiles.
And yet I was taught in school that people went to America to escape religious persecution.
The people in power spontaneously turned blind to their own history
What happened to separation of church and state. Which was always funny since they have in god we trust on their money.
That got added during the Cold War. The USSR had no state religion, so the anti commie McCarthyists added that phrase to the money.
Same goes for adding “under God” into the pledge of allegiance
Not letting Christians so whatever they want is persecution. /s
EPSTEIN FILES!!! OMG THEY TORTURED, RAPED, AND KILLED CHILDREN. Fuck your stupid prayer. Only the most depraved demon would answer any of their prayers. Also, I hear they ate people too.
Muscular Christian nationalism
Somebody’s gonna rip a phone book in half…
But even with the power of God Almighty, no Christian warrior can rip the Epstein Files in half.
/s
HAHAHAHA I also read this and was like wot, maybe its british slang LMAO idk
They’re definitely using it like “bullying”.
As in it’s upfront and in people’s faces?
I’ve never heard it used that way but in context it makes sense. I just immediately pictured the Workaholics episode where they had “Christian Strongmen”.
Nope, Muscular Christianity is a religious movement that attempted to tie Christianity to fitness, masculinity, and patriotism as well as the rejection of more traditional Christian values such as meekness and pacifism. It’s deeply tied to crises of masculinity.
OMG wtfff

Im doing gay sex magic then to counter balance it >:3
LMAO I love you and I love this lol
We can pray for the demise of Christofascism, but it’s going to be our job to make that prayer come true.
Donald Trump is a prophet of the old testament. He even got the part about fucking his own daughter right.
They need to do this from their closet.
At least according to their own text.
https://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/mt/6.html?v=6
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Priests read this as gospel at mass where everyone shows up to pray in public and will 100% gossip behind your back if you miss a Sunday or don’t look like you’re praying hard enough while there.
I’m so glad I live in a part of the United States where I just don’t have to give a fuck about picking the “right” church and doing the “right” things there. I have to pay as much attention to that shit as I do to how much someone loves Harry Potter series vs. Star Wars.
Though apparently that is a huuuuge thing in certain parts of the U.S., notably, the South.
My view is that religion and all its little rules and rituals are for those that have adapted that lifestyle. Since I live in a secular nation, I don’t have to give two farts in a high wind about any of it.
Most of Christianity in USA is disgusting and unchristian.
hail satan!
Hall Santa!
If heaven is filled with Christians like Trump, send me straight to hell.
Trump isn’t a christian but I know what you mean
I sort of wonder if we’re not already in hell, as detrrmined by the last election?
I pray every day. Just not to the god they expect me to…
I’d piss on a bible tomorrow if I had one
I’d piss on all religious books as all religions serve the same purpose
If they’re not Trump-branded, they can be very inexpensive
Still not gonna pay for a bible tho!
“White house to pander to Christian voters because they’re scared about the midterms”
Thought this was the Onion for a second.
Sucks you can’t even tell real news from the onion these days. :/
At least you don’t have that scary brown lady.
But hey, bOtH sIdEs R tEh SaMe amirite?
Kinda lame Lockheed Liberal talking point.
President Jill Stein agrees.
I can’t wait for after the midterms when that last spark of hope dies.
jEnOsiEd GoEeeee
