Yesterday, a few thousand zealous right-wing Christian nationalists gathered on the Mall in Washington, D.C., to proclaim that the U.S. was conceived as a Christian nation, contrary to the history of our founding. They heard from a number of political pastors like the far-right Franklin Graham and the MF's "spiritual advisor" and "prosperity gospel" heretic Paula White-Cain. From the Associated Press:
"Against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, worship music blared from a stage that made clear the event’s Christian focus. Arched stained-glass windows, set underneath grand columns resembling a federal building, depicted the nation’s founders alongside a white cross.
Most speakers celebrated Christianity’s ties to American history, a blending of ideas that critics flagged ahead of the prayer gathering as supporting Christian nationalism.
President Donald Trump read a passage of Scripture in a video shown at the rally. Filmed in the Oval Office, it was the same footage used during a marathon Bible-reading event last month. The verses from 2 Chronicles are often cited by those who believe America was founded as a Christian nation. [snip]
The event was organized by Freedom 250, a public-private partnership backed by the White House. Congressional Democrats have questioned the nonprofit’s structure and finances, which they see as a Trump-controlled end run around a separate commission charted by Congress a decade ago to prepare semiquincentennial events."

It's worth noting that the MF was at his golf club in Sterling, VA, while his taped, edited message was being shown, a typical Sunday for the irreligious con man and a sign of his veiled contempt for his hypocritical religious cultists. He's not worried in the least about losing them. His cultists will always make excuses for his disrespectful and sinful behavior as they erect statues to him and create AI slop of him as Jesus. For them, it's not about religion. It's about temporal power.

Is throwing up Nazi salutes now a show of Christian Nationalism?
