Ignoring a Prime Tenant of the Constitution

Religion has no place in policy which our Constitutional founders expressly stated and yet, there are countless people on the Christian right who would ignore the founders' intent to pursue their own agenda.

The Christian right that denounced every Democrat and left leaning politician for an array of supposed slights against their faith have unanimously backed the "porn star" President, #DonaldTrump. A man whom is thrice divorced, has never read the Bible, attended church services before becoming president and who is the antithesis of all that the Christian right espouses. But, it was never about religion and all about power. With Donald Trump the Christian right found their willing idiot and they're taking full advantage of the time they have to cement their foothold on the federal government for years to come.

And, of course, the MAGA-morons over in #TrumpNation will never make the connection when they realize it's the religious right holding them back, not the progressives or Democrats.

But as Powers noted, news coverage of religion in public life tends to be dominated by the Religious Right, to the point that “many Americans aren’t even aware of the rich tradition of progressive Christianity.” That’s in part, she suggested, because journalists make the mistake of accepting the Religious Right’s equation of orthodoxy with authenticity, a violation of one of People For the American Way Foundation’s “12 Rules for Mixing Religion and Politics.”
