Democrats have had a problem with the Christian God for sometime, however in 2019, “Oddly enough, the proposal to remove references to God comes just two months after Democrats proposed to remove a 181-year-old restriction on wearing religious headgear on the House floor in order to accommodate newly-elected Muslim women members.” For many years Democrats have also tried to twist and turn the interpretation of Jefferson’s ‘separation of church and state’ metaphor to do everything they can to remove Christ and religion from the public square. This was not Jefferson intent.

From “The Mythical “Wall of Separation”: How a Misused Metaphor Changed Church–State Law, Policy, and Discourse” – Heritage Foundation:

Jefferson firmly believed that the First Amendment, with its metaphoric “wall of separation,” prohibited religious establishments by the federal government only. Addressing the same topic of religious proclamations, Jefferson elsewhere relied on the Tenth Amendment, arguing that because “no power to prescribe any religious exercise…has been delegated to the General [i.e., federal] Government[,] it must then rest with the States, as far as it can be in any human authority.” He sounded the same theme in his Second Inaugural Address, delivered in March 1805:

In matters of religion, I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the constitution independent of the powers of the general [i.e., federal] government. I have therefore undertaken, on no occasion, to prescribe the religious exercises suited to it; but have left them, as the constitution found them, under the direction and discipline of State or Church authorities acknowledged by the several religious societies.

These two statements were, in essence, Jefferson’s own commentary on the Danbury letter, insofar as they grappled with identical issues. Thus, as a matter of federalism, he thought it inappropriate for the nation’s chief executive to proclaim days for religious observance; however, he acknowledged the authority of state officials to issue religious proclamations. In short, Jefferson’s “wall” was erected between the federal and state governments on matters pertaining to religion.

Therefore, it is no surprise that even before Biden’s swearing in a group of Democrats were working hard to direct Biden’s new administration to strip First Amendment rights from non-woke extremists like Christians that endorsed traditional biblical positions on life, marriage, and education. The 28-page document by “Secular Democrats of America” is called “Restoring Constitutional Secularism and Patriotic Pluralism in the White House.”

The document calls for the re-educating of the “religious right” to keep their beliefs to themselves. It also calls for purging social conservatives from government by labeling them “white nationalist.”

From the document:

The rise of white Christian nationalism is a national security threat. We recommend you: encourage the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice to dedicate resources to deradicalization programs aimed at hate groups, including, but not limited to, white nationalists; increase monitoring of such groups, including the online environment, and take action to address increased hate crimes toward minority faith communities; and shift rhetoric to label violent white nationalist extremists as terrorists.

The fact that no evidence has been found of any systematic relationship between Christian Conservatives and white supremacist has not stopped the Democrats drive to try to eradicate Conservatives, Christians, and Republicans from the public square or government positions. Many Democrats, both in government and in media, have a track record of accusing the Right of producing hate in media. One well known example is the Democrats very long history of slavery and racism goes back all the way to the birth of the Democrats’ militant racist arm known as the Klu Klux Klan, yet accusing anyone who disagrees with them as racists.

One point about Jefferson’s statement of church and state separation that repeatedly get washed over is Jefferson’s reference to a wall between the two, but only between the Church and the Federal government. This is further shown by Jefferson’s own actions of his endorsement of federal funds to build churches and the support of Christian missionaries among the Indians.

From “The Mythical “Wall of Separation”: How a Misused Metaphor Changed Church–State Law, Policy, and Discourse” – Heritage Foundation:

Today, the wall is the cherished emblem of a strict separationist dogma intolerant of religious influences in the public square. Federal and state courts have used the “wall of separation” concept to justify censoring private religious expression (such as Christmas crèches) in public fora; stripping public spaces of religious symbols (such as crosses); denying public benefits (such as education vouchers) for religious entities; and excluding religious citizens and organizations (such as faith-based social welfare agencies) from full participation in civic life on the same terms as their secular counterparts. The systematic and coercive removal of religion from public life not only is at war with our cultural traditions insofar as it evinces a callous indifference toward religion, but also offends basic notions of freedom of religious exercise, expression, and association in a democratic and pluralistic society.

A religious sterilization has been going on for decades with the removing of Christian tenants from government buildings, classrooms, and anywhere else that Democrats can make a foothold. However, with the placement of Biden in the White House that mission has arose to a fever pitch by increasing radical sects of the Democratic party. We are not only in an information war with the re-writing of American History but we are also in a religious war to keep alive the Christian principles and that brought about the foundation and the prosperity of our great nation. Sadly, we no longer have the luxury of rest as this has become our generation’s battle, and like it or not each one of us will have to choose where we stand.
