Let us never forget, the USA was founded on the separation of church and state. Christian Nationals has no foothold here, no matter how much they try. Need more evidence that prayer is divisive? Speaker Turzai, who controls the invocations and couldn’t keep his jaw from dropping during Borowicz’s prayer, has prohibited certain legislators from delivering prayers. Rep. Brian Sims, an atheist, is  excluded  from this opportunity because of his beliefs. When guest chaplains were permitted to deliver prayers in place of legislators, atheists, humanists, and other secular Americans were similarly excluded— unconstitutionally  according to the courts. https://rewire.news/religion-dispatches/2019/03/27/penn-legislators-jaw-dropping-prayer-showcases-americas-christian-nationalism-problem/

They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why: They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy. For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity. They watched you deny his personal faith convictions, argue his birthplace, and assail his character—all without cause or evidence. They saw you brandish Scriptures to malign him and use the laziest of racial stereotypes in criticizing him. And through it all, White Evangelicals—you never once suggested that God placed him where he was, you never publicly offered prayers for him and his family, you never welcomed him to yo...
