This military action to “protect Christians” is reckless, unconstitutional, and steeped in Christian nationalism.
U.S. bombs are not religious weapons.
Foreign policy must be secular, rights-based, and grounded in diplomacy — not holy war.

Wait, what? We were told this was a deeply thoughtful essay that just happened to mention the Bible and got a zero because Christians are being persecuted.
You mean she phoned it in and got the grade she earned?

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Is it really so hard to give state employees time off for the holidays without using government power to preach your personal religious beliefs?
Apparently it is.

A governor is not a preacher.
A proclamation is not a sermon.
So why is Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling state employees to spend the holidays "giving thanks for Christ’s birth"?

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders turned a holiday email to state employees into a Christian sermon
Sanders' proclamation violated the idea of church/state separation by treating Christian doctrine as state policy

OU says students have a right to be free from a lecturer’s “impermissible evaluative standards.”
Translation: if a student invokes Christianity, academic rigor no longer applies.
Poor writing and off-topic work get a free pass so long as they are labeled “religious belief.”

You didn’t just close state offices. You told employees to spend the day “giving thanks for Christ’s birth.”
A day off is fine. Using state power to promote one religion is not.
Arkansans deserve a governor who doesn't impose her religion onto everyone else.

Oh look, invocations being used to enforce an ideological litmus test instead of serving any useful purpose.
This is just one of the many reasons why these performative rituals don’t belong in government meetings.

Texas city officials lied about a scheduling error to prevent a pro-LGBTQ pastor from delivering an invocation.
The mayor later admitted it was because the pastor's values "offended a large majority of our residents."

Trump’s attack on Raphael Warnock was tiresome and forgettable, except for one thing:

Rob Boston has been a steady, principled force for church–state separation for decades, and the movement is stronger because of his work.

Rob Boston is one of the truly remarkable folks in the fight for church-state separation. After nearly 40 years at Americans United for Separation of Church and State, he rides into the retirement sunset. Thank you for being the rising tide, Rob.

Everything that Pete Hegseth is doing to impose his personal religious beliefs on our servicemembers should worry anyone who cares about our military.
The Army’s "Spiritual Fitness Guide" mentions "God" once in 112 pages—and that apparently broke Pete Hegseth’s brain.
He's now targeting the Chaplain Corps.
His baseless complaints should worry anyone who cares about our military.
