There's this idea that there's a lot of non-religious people who are deeply spiritual. That's not empirically true. Among the nones, 12% said that they were "very spiritual" in 1998. It was 12% in 2022. Nones are almost 3x more likely to say they "not at all" spiritual.

Christian nationalism in a nutshell: less freedom, fewer rights, and men telling women to stay quiet.
Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge calls for repealing the 19th Amendment: “Nearly every legalized moral atrocity of the last 100 years was made possible by the female vote.”

The real divide isn’t between believers and nonbelievers. It’s between those who respect freedom of conscience and those who want to impose their religion on everyone else.
Here’s the real divide in America: - 50% of Democrats don’t believe in God. - Ninety-three percent of Republicans do. God’s first commandment to Adam was simple: be fruitful and multiply. Republicans follow it. We build families, raise children, and create life. The left does

Hey, so this is empirically false. Only 9% of Democrats don't believe in God. Another 12% take an agnostic view.

America’s military isn’t a missionary force. Our foreign policy should defend human rights, not one religion. The U.S. protects people — not “Christian populations.”
"Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening there, and in numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian Population around the World!" - President Trump

Exactly. When churches try to seize public power, voters have a responsibility to push back. Secular government protects everyone’s freedom of belief. This is what democracy in action looks like. 👏
A Houston church literally told its members to "get God’s mission accomplished" by maintaining control of a local public school board. Voters responded by kicking out the conservative majority. This is what fighting back looks like. 🔥 https://t.co/JaSeZ4aF0y

Jason Rapert calls election results “ungodly” because voters chose people who don’t share his theocratic agenda. We call it democracy. In America, laws come from We the People — not divine revelation.
Christian nationalist Jason Rapert is aghast over the results of Tuesday's elections: "These are ungodly people that are gonna pass ungodly laws that lead to ungodly results and it's gonna destroy the nation."

‘I’m a Christian first, and a Republican second’ — and an American somewhere down the line hopefully? Public office isn’t a pulpit, and voters deserve leaders who serve the Constitution.
"I'm a Christian first, and a Republican second, and that's the way it always will be." Winsome Earle-Sears says she doesn’t consider her defeat to Abigail Spanberger a loss but will “hope and pray” Spanberger unites Virginia and “heals our divide.”

A student asked JD Vance how he balances his interfaith marriage. His answer? They're raising their kids as Christians and he hopes his Hindu wife converts. That's not love. That's religious superiority. https://t.co/2W26T0NaNN

Raising his kids Christian while hoping his wife abandons Hinduism shows how little the vice president respects religious pluralism
