Rep. Mary Miller ― a Republican from Illinois who once praised Adolf Hitler ― wrote, edited and ultimately deleted a social media post decrying “a Muslim” speaking in Congress.
“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen,” she wrote Friday. “American was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth. May God have mercy!”
The man leading the prayer was guest chaplain Giani Singh, a follower of the Sikh faith, not Islam. Miller’s Republican colleague Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) introduced him as such on Friday.
GOP keeps saying ‘this is a Christian nation’, but they don’t want understand separation of church and state.
There is no state religion. If you open a state body to prayer, then all prayer is allowed, not just the prayers you want.
Long live the satanic temple.
There should be no prayer in a secular institution
It’s a place for running a government not magical thinking
Oh they understand perfectly well. Hence why they’re trying to destroy the separation of church and state.
a few bullets would go a long way to keeping us on track. destroy all religion for the sake of humanity

Yeah he went to church with Mary and the kids, believed in a higher power and talked about it often in his speeches he just disliked organized religion
The current on is not.
Probably true, as long as we relax the No True Scotsman thing so very many white evangelicals engage in when it comes to who is a “real” xtian.
I think that if modern day politicians were to talk in terms like the Deists of the past, I am quite sure the Karens of the Southern Baptist type would call them “pagan” or “atheist” or at least heretics.
