A White House spokesperson praised the president's "sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility" in response.

A group of conservatives visited the Oval Office on Friday and announced they want to remove a key safeguard for religious freedom in America ― the separation of church and state.

But of course, the main takeaway on social media was how Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during the meeting.

Members of the Religious Liberty Commission, an organization made up almost entirely of conservative Christians, showed up at the White House to suggest that there should be “bridges” between religion and politics rather than “a wall of separation,” as Thomas Jefferson once wrote.

A group of conservatives? More like a group of nut-jobs. What’s the difference between this group an d jihadis? Asking for a friend.

    It’s all the same. They want madrasas and they want xtian shariah law.

    The conservatives in both groups only differ on what they call their god (the same one, by the way, since they are both Abrahamic religions - Allah/Yahweh are the same thing) and some rather minor differences in some rituals (which day to worship, what foods are not permitted), and of course the unsubstantiated claims of the supernatural they both make - Jesus was a prophet vs. son of their god, etc.

    But on so many cultural issues they agree. I sure hope neither conservative group ever really figures it out and starts making alliances at the global level.

      Yup, the Canaanite god of war. Big surprise, eh?
