Rep. Mary Miller ― a Republican from Illinois who once praised Adolf Hitler ― wrote, edited and ultimately deleted a social media post decrying “a Muslim” speaking in Congress.
“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen,” she wrote Friday. “American was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth. May God have mercy!”
The man leading the prayer was guest chaplain Giani Singh, a follower of the Sikh faith, not Islam. Miller’s Republican colleague Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) introduced him as such on Friday.
Every president has been Christian.
It is a christian nation.
It shouldn’t be, but it is.
Probably true, as long as we relax the No True Scotsman thing so very many white evangelicals engage in when it comes to who is a “real” xtian.
I think that if modern day politicians were to talk in terms like the Deists of the past, I am quite sure the Karens of the Southern Baptist type would call them “pagan” or “atheist” or at least heretics.
The current on is not.
all of them?

Lincoln was based, but still unfortunately Christian.
Yeah he went to church with Mary and the kids, believed in a higher power and talked about it often in his speeches he just disliked organized religion
