Biden’s Exploitation of Religion

Biden’s Exploitation of Religion

For him it’s only useful if turned into liberal propaganda.

The Declaration of Independence says “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” On the campaign trail in 2020, Joe Biden botched that line, saying, “All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.” His omission of God was telling. Unlike the Founding Fathers who spoke openly and often of God, Biden hesitates before mentioning him. In early May, he managed to issue an obligatory proclamation on the National Day of Prayer without referencing God once. He put a political spin on prayer, saying it had “powered moral movements — including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor, and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans.”

For Biden, religion is only useful insofar as it serves as a tribune of liberal propaganda. His secularism seeks to remove religion from politics while inserting politics into religion. Whether talking about prayer or pontiffs, Biden has politics, not religion, on his mind. He often gushes about Pope Francis, but his alliance with him rests not on Catholicism but political liberalism. In a grim irony, the party of John F. Kennedy, who promised never to take political cues from a pope, now slavishly follows one.
