Church-state separation is a ‘lie,’ says Trump's Religious Liberty Commission chair (RNS) — ‘Church-state separation ensures we are all free to live as ourselves and believe as we choose, as long as we don’t harm others,’ a church-state separationist countered.

Hegseth's Pentagon Prayer Services Face Legal Scrutiny Amid Supreme Court Shift Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s conduct, including hosting prayer services at the Pentagon and engaging in what's described as a “proselytizing Christian campaign,” is drawing legal challenges. According to a Washington Post report, these activities raise concerns about a potential violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits government endorsement of religion. Former federal judge and current Dickinson College President John E. Jones III, whose previous ruling in Kitzmiller v. Dover addressed the teaching of intelligent design, believes the Pentagon services appear to favor a specific religious tradition and are likely to be challenged in court by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The potential lawsuit will likely focus on whether these activities violate the Establishment Clause by occurring on government property and potentially coercing participation. Jones highlights a shift in the Supreme Court's jurisprudence, exemplified by the Kennedy v. Bremerton School District case, which relaxed previous restrictions on religious expression in public spaces and abandoned the 'Lemon test' for assessing Establishment Clause violations. This change makes the outcome of any legal challenge against Hegseth’s actions uncertain, potentially leading to a further erosion of the wall between church and state and raising concerns about potential future scenarios where other religions might be favored, potentially creating a situation detrimental to nonbelievers and those of differing faiths.

This matters because presidents almost never attack popes—especially for preaching peace. Add Trump posting Christ‑like imagery of himself? Many Catholics see this as crossing a serious line.

So the Trump administration is now allowing Federal employees to evangelise colleagues, including supervisors to their subordinates. This is such a huge can of worms. Also, does this mean I can now tell them that their beliefs are unfounded and a danger to society?

Under God" was added to the Pledge (1954) & "In God We Trust" made the motto (1956) during the Cold War to oppose communism, not by the Founders. Courts call this "ceremonial deism," but it still clashes with the First Amendment’s separation of church & state. #History #ChurchState

We’re guessing this type of case will make its way back to the U.S. Supreme Court. For now, Oklahomans won’t have to help pay for a Roman Catholic charter school. This case could have shifted church/state issues in a major way.
