Trump said that instead of a separation of church and state, he will bring “religion back to our country.”
Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday establishing a “religious liberty commission” at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.”
During his comments on the order, Trump said that he doesn’t know if there’s a separation of church and state and that we should “forget about that for one time.”

Why does this new Religious Liberty Commission have an expiration date of July 4, 2026?
And DOGE does too.
Fascism is its own religion.
I’m an exvangelical atheist and I do find myself wishing this whole administration would go rot in hell, so I guess you could say in some small way they’ve brought religion back to my life.
But seriously, this is fucked.
You never had separation of church and state.
Only on paper.Yeah it’s kinda wacky how people believe in this kind of civil mythology.
Traitor
I knew it was going to be bad, but I wasn’t expecting them to go “the founding fathers were woke” so soon, they must be really confident about their grip on their brainwashed base.
I’m waiting until some DOGE or other trump goon just literally destroys the Constitution papers, or at least attempts to.
Ooops, we were installing a trump shrine and moving some old documents we didn’t need people to see anymore and it just kinda fell apart.
I said to a mate a while ago that I thought that trump, (really the republicans), were possibly trying to overturn the enlightenment, and make the country in to a feudal society. Restore the world of gods and kings.
At the time it was a bit of a joke, but increasingly I’m more concerned about it.
Did they ever remember that part in tge first place?
We need to get religion out of society altogether
I agree with you, but i would just remove the harmful ones that indoctrinate from birth, promote segregation, treat humans as property and have legal immunity just because the justice system doesn’t want to meddle with the mess that is Christian paedophilia and familial abuse. The ones that don’t intend to force their belief system onto people and trust that their existence will bring people that are interested, rather than unsolicited house calls or screaming at strangers about their idea of a deity. That’s attractive…

TBF this is nothing knew*. Who put God on the USD?
* though he seems determined to stop even keeping up appearances
Blessed be the fruit
Actually that’s more Elon’s shtick
Mr we have birthrate issue and proceeds to have sons.
Actually a good meme there.
Homie is basically trying bring back everything American colonists rebelled against. Kings, state religion, massive tariffs. The only missing piece is tea.
That’s the one good piece. :(
So why aren’t the colonists rebelling?
They kinda are. Do you think every single colonist was out in the streets rebelling? No it was a percent. And there is a healyhy percent protesting right now. The revelution also didn’t happen overnight. It took time to build momentum.
It was 5 years between the Boston Massacre (March 1770) and the first shot of the American Revolution (April 1775).
Also no one’s reporting on it because the oligarch owned media is the enemy of the people
I see plenty of reports about the protests. They just aren’t on fox news, which is fine. People watching that are a lost cause anyway.
Burn him!
