Tucker Carlson was taken off air by Rupert Murdoch because of overtly religious remarks Fox News' highest-rated host made during a recent speech, according to Vanity Fair.
...........
Describing the debate over abortion and transgender rights, he told the audience: "what you’re watching is not a political movement. It’s evil."
Carlson added: "I’m not calling for religious war. Far from it. I’m merely calling for an acknowledgement of what we’re watching".
He said that engaging in debate no longer works. "I’ve tried. That doesn’t work," he said.
He went on to suggest that he has concluded praying for the future could be more powerful.
He said: "Maybe we should all take just 10 minutes a day to say a prayer about it. I’m serious. Why not?"
According to one source close to Mr Murdoch, the language drove his decision to remove Carlson.
“That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source told Vanity Fair.
...... The report was by the same journalist who claimed in May that Mr Murdoch called off his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith because he had become “increasingly uncomfortable” with his fiancee’s outspoken evangelical views.
According to Vanity Fair, Mr Murdoch had witnessed Carlson and his fiance discussing religion on a previous occasion.
A source told the publication that Carlson, reportedly a favourite of Ms Smith, had dinner with the couple at Mr Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard in late March.
........
During the meal, Ms Smith reportedly produced a Bible and read passages from the Book of Exodus.
Mr Murdoch simply “sat there and stared,” the source said. Days later, his engagement to Ms Smith was called off.
Vanity Fair noted that by taking Carlson off the air, Mr Murdoch had also cut his former fiance’s "favourite show" on the network.

Matthew 7:24-27
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
James 5:16b kjv
