WIRED reports that federal employees across several agencies see a clear shift: religion is no longer just something workers privately practice, but something senior officials are increasingly projecting into the workplace through official messaging, prayer events, and agency structures. The piece lands hardest when ordinary employees describe that shift as abnormal, alienating, and harder to resist because it is coming from the top.

downplaying the idea that he was engaged in a direct dispute with #Trump.

Trump just told the Pope β€” on Easter weekend β€” to β€œget his act together.”
Reason: Leo said people are living in fear of the Trump administration.
Trump’s response: You should be thankful I exist. Your brother gets it. You don’t.

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.
β€œLet every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation.”
β€œGive 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
β€œEven if these prayer services are presented as voluntary, there is pressure on federal employees to attend in order to appease their bosses.”

Hegseth held a Christian worship service at the Pentagon.

Prayed for "overwhelming violence" against enemies.

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

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