During the discussion, the small group of #Pentagon & #Vatican officials discussed their differing views of current events, according to people on both sides with knowledge of the conversation. What is less clear is how adversarial the meeting was.

THAT’S RIGHT-WING RELIGION TODAY.

The grift is big and the followers believe it. They even believe the lies of Donald Trump.

Everyone covered Biery's ICE ruling. @daylightatheism.bsky.social dug deeper: a 15-year record defending church-state separation in deep-red Texas. That's the judge worth knowing.

When a man of God demands political loyalty at the midterms that is not faith. That is manipulation wearing a cross. Separation of church and state exists for exactly this reason.

At the Pentagon’s monthly Christian service, Pete Hegseth fused wartime language, official power, and sectarian prayer in a way that sharpened fears about coercion, religious favouritism, and the remaking of military culture.
“Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation.”
“Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”
Pete Hegseth, at the Pentagon service
“Even if these prayer services are presented as voluntary, there is pressure on federal employees to attend in order to appease their bosses.”
Rachel Laser, Americans United for Separation of Church and State

🚨⚔️ Pete Hegseth used a Pentagon Christian service to pray for “overwhelming violence” against enemies, tying active war, explicitly Christian rhetoric, and chaplaincy changes into one combustible display of state power. #PeteHegseth #Pentagon #ChristianNationalism #ChurchAndState #Militarism

Hegseth held a Christian worship service at the Pentagon.

Prayed for "overwhelming violence" against enemies.

Asked God to "break the teeth of the ungodly."

Dept. of Defense. Your tax dollars. 🧵

Haven't Iran and Israel and the Taliban and every medieval Crusade shown us the idiocy and danger of invoking your version of god in military decisions?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAITH DEMANDS POWER—BUT REFUSES ACCOUNTABILITY?

Teaching without academic integrity, no scrutiny of church finances or power, if faith enters education, transparency must enter churches. Tax political churches.

IF YOU WANT RELIGION IN SCHOOLS… ARE YOU READY FOR ACCOUNTABILITY IN CHURCHES?

You can’t demand public influence without public accountability.

Ancient Prophecy or Modern Script? A Civicus Reflection on Christian Nationalism, Christian Zionism, and the War We Keep Dressing Up as Destiny There is something deeply unsettling about watching modern war get narrated as ancient inevitability. Not analyzed.Not debated.Not mourned. Narrated. As though bloodshed were not a human decision but a prophetic appointment.As though escalation were not policy but destiny.As though history itself were waiting for our generation to stop thinking and start performing a script.

When war is sold as destiny, people become easier to sacrifice.
My latest Civicus reflection explores prophecy, power, and the danger of sacred language in modern conflict.
The planet is not a prop.
