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....

Exactly.
I just sent that Greeting Card to my wife. She will get a good laugh. Thanks.
Pre-emptive.
It’s only a threat to anti-white racist globalists.
Its a threat to China
They are beyond sick. They are evil. KTF
Oh my word. Looks like they just ate a few children!
They may be right.
The dangerous threat to America is the home grown BLM black plague that has permeated cities from the offices of the NAACP
Words fail me. The Constitution was written by Christians, based upon the Bible and Christian beliefs. When Christian faith and action becomes terrorism, my rod and my staff will comfort me and not fail me.
They closed the churches. Churches took their mass online.
Viewpoint one: Church moves to the digital age and many more here the truth of the Lord.
Viewpoint two: The hate towards people who advocate Biblical morals and values intensifies and targets are now easy to locate via social media views.
Another reason the “Patriot” Act has to go. What’s next? Drones and hellfire missiles at MAGA rallies?
They are indeed sir. As a Christian, I shouldn’t wish it on anyone, but they have earned it. God has a rather warm lake, reserved for them, with flames, and agony, that are probably a million times worse, than the worst thing anyone could imagine, in a million lifetimes.
Barr's corrupt "Justice" Dept wrote a meaningless memo (that they released to the media) that said the DOJ was "on the lookout" for state violations of the Constitution with these COVID lock downs and church regulations.
I guess they are all blind, and saw nothing. The states got away with it, and court decisions notwithstanding, I believe the Deep State, the states and local law enforcement will simply ignore any court rulings that supported in-person Christian worship. Gov Cuomo said he would simply ignore the SC decision, saying it wasn't "relevant." Biden's DOJ (which will essentially be Trump's DOJ) will do what they have been doing - nothing.
Without this demographic not much would exist.
Lavin left The New Yorker in 2018 after falsely saying an ICE agent had a Nazi tattoo.....
and besides, only two NYT students signed up for the (cough) brainwashing journalism course.
Where is that Baphomet statue?
I agree with most of what you say. Our nation was certainly founded by Christians. No other people would have been selfless enough to give us this gift at great personal cost.
And they believed if we kept our goodness, we could keep the gift.
But “Christian Nationalist” has the wrong ring to me. It sounds like the Inquisition, not the American people.
I want people to follow our Messiah as much as you do, but in order for us to get that, we have to ALLOW it, a completely free conversion, with no coercion. Otherwise it’s not a completely free choice.
We all know people who were “brought up Christian” who are no more Christian than the man in the moon. That’s because they never really had to make the choice for themselves. The people in my life who are the most Christian in their thinking are converts to Christ, born-again Christians, and Baptists who have to make a decision when they are old enough. I guess I should add “anyone who makes a conscious decision to be Christian.”
It’s not a denomination, or a place to go on Sunday. It’s a total dedication of heart, soul, mind, and strength. And if I’m not mistaken, Jesus added the word “mind” to that original threesome from before the modern age.
Once you make up your mind, it’s done.
They’re making a mistake if they do that. I hope you agree.
