The Secular Democrats of America PAC prepared a report for Joe Biden and his transition team that outlines a roadmap to "boldly restore a vision of constitutional secularism and respect in the land for religious and intellectual pluralism."
The federal political action committee "represents secular Democratic individuals and organizations" and advocates for "secular governance, promote respect and inclusion of nonreligious Americans, and mobilize nonreligious voters."
The proposal was formally presented by Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Huffman, co-chairs of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, and endorsed by Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney.
“We’ve offered the new administration a roadmap to restore our basic constitutional values and protect science, reason and public health in American government,” Raskin and Huffman said in a joint statement.
The proposal calls for Biden's team to work with Congress and governors to "advance a secular agenda at all levels of government, taking into account the current makeup of the federal courts and new, unfavorable precedents that your administration will have to contend with."
In the document, the group argues that Trump has "empowered the religious right in ways no other administration has before, making significant advances in enacting their Christian nationalist agenda."
The proposal outlines recommendations for reversing certain policies and "proactively" implementing new rules that would "restore secularism to federal governance and disentangle entrenched religious interests from federal policy."
Some of the recommendations in the document are related to Homeland Security policy.
"The rise of white Christian nationalism is a national security threat," read the document. "We recommend you: encourage the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice to dedicate resources to de-radicalization programs aimed at hate groups, including, but not limited to, white nationalists; increase monitoring of such groups, including the online environment, and take action to address increased hate crimes toward minority....

Thank you for posting this article!
We must continue to shine the spotlight of truth on the anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Constitution LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrats!
Hideous evil intent.
So will they also attempt to de-radicalize such hate groups at Antifa and BLM.
Of course not.
And Jamie Raskin, one of the most grotesque embarrassments to come from a state that in itself is a grotesque embarrassment, is one of the co-authors. As far as I can tell, Mr. Raskin is Jewish, but that’s probably nominal, just like with his ideological Buddy Boy, Soros.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I’m an American Christian patriot, meaning I believe in federalism, among other things. Federalism runs counter to most forms of nationalism.
I’m guessing with her, she hasn’t directly caused bloodshed yet, but 7 out of 8 ain’t bad. /sarc
“ There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.”
That pegs the government of the United States to a tee.
I for one look forward to perhaps seeing the Lord pour out his anger on this venal government.
3 little pigs /sarcasm
We wouldn’t be a country without it, historically speaking, so I guess I am a Federalist too.
The discussion was whether we should or not have a form of Christian Nationalism. To me, that is like White Nationalism.
We shouldn’t distinguish people by race or religion when deciding whether a law is just. And there should be no “unwritten laws,” like “Christians are more important here than those of other faiths.”
Please reread what I wrote about wanting true Christians to be able to choose their faith. Under Christian Nationalism people are coerced into being Christians in a subtle or not so subtle way. The same mistake the Inquisition made, thinking if a belief was good then it must be OK to impose it on people.
White Christian nationalism is a national security threat.
Propaganda bait by the plantation owners to get the slaves to come back to the plantation racism is the only scam they have left aside from covering up the election.
The black know the democrats scam it’s why so many voted for Trump.
Well stated
I agree with allowing people the freedom to choose, with no coercion.
I do not agree with allowing the Media/universities/leftists/Islamists to freely inject poison into our culture. Which is what they have done.
BTW, I am a Baptist FWIW.
God bless Firebrand. ‘Pod and the Missus.
That’s another question.
Nobody should be able to infiltrate our universities and other institutions to preach any form of religious belief.
So glad to hear you are a Baptist! Love to you and the missus. Have a beautiful Christmas.
Fundamental Independent Baptist.
Love back at ya. ‘Pod.
Abomination.
Jamie Raskin ins the son of longtime (deceased now, Thank God) Marxist and possible Soviet asset Marcus Raskin of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS - See S. Steven Powell’s book “Covert Cadre” about communists in the formation, funding and functions of IPS). Also see Raskins at www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org and www.keywiki.org for lots of information on them and IPS.
Jamie Raskin is what is known as a “Red Diaper Baby”, usually children born to Communist Party USA members (including Carl Bernstein, Dave Marannis, former Rep. and San Diego mayor Robert Filner (D-CA), and Jeremy Stone (FAS), son of I.F. Isadore “Izzy” Stone, secret CPUSA member and definitely NKVD/KGB sometimes asset over time.
Two current “Red Diaper Babies” in congress are Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), whose red father just died. He was a Marxist in the dictatorial regime of Said Barre’ until he was overthrown, which was why Omar’s family had to flee Somalia.
The same for Peter Buttigieg, whose father was a known Marxist scholar, who, I believe, focused on international communist strategist Antonio Gramsci.
Now so-called VP elect Kamala Harris is also a “Red Diaper Baby” at least on her father’s side (he is or was an avowed Marxist/scholar). Not sure about her mother being a hardcore red but I think she came out of the Jamaican Left which had strong ties to Castro.
For more information on members of Congress and their pasts, see Trevor Loudon’s massive books “The Enemies Within” and “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and progressives in the U.S. Congress”, 2013-2015 Edition (with more information being found at his www.keywiki.org site.
There were and are more reds of all stripes in Congress including former Maoist Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) of the Communist Workers Party, Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I or D - VT) - old school Stalinist/Soviet guy, etc.
A little light reading about who is betraying America to our enemies.
