Amid celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary, assertions of the country’s religious, and specifically Christian, character have grown louder in political discourse.

In May 2026, House Speaker Mike Johnson and other prominent officials participated in a prayer service in Washington, D.C. Johnson proclaimed, “We hereby rededicate the United States of America as one nation under God.” Though planners invoked the nation’s “Judeo-Christian” heritage, most religious leaders at the event came from the evangelical Christian tradition. In a prerecorded video, President Donald Trump read from the New Testament book of 2 Corinthians.

    There’s was the whole Christians genociding Indians thing. Trail of tears… And look. 250 years later more concentration camps. And in-between more concentration camps. And the world’s highest incarceration rate per capita in the world. And the highest incidence of male on male rape, because of those prisons.

    Seems like genocide, murder, rape, torture maga… Make America great again. So great.

    How about make America Christian-free? And the other religions can fuck right off as well.
