Do MAGAs want a Christian Nation or a Free Nation?

This White House document about religious freedom seems self-contradictory. A free nation (and the leader thereof) should not specify that people must believe in a single creator or any creator.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/09/president-trump-champions-religious-freedom-unveils-america-prays/ Personally, I value us as a "Free nation." I am also, admittedly, an atheist. Am I still welcome in the US? Or do conservatives want religion as a litmus test for being a "true" American? |

| Conservatives want religious freedom. MAGA is not conservative. |

| A Christian nation. They won't care about freedom until fellow Magas come for them, for whatever reason. |

Disagree. Conservatives = MAGA (see Grassley, McConnell, and others). Also, conservatives/MAGA want a white Christian nation, even if it costs them their personal liabilities like voting rights. |

Well that is likely because they had no clue how to answer that, so they googled it and accidentally fell upon a 5th grade history lesson. They learned that religious freedom does not mean the freedom to force your religion on others, and it is actually the opposite. They also learned that if it weren’t for the pursuit of religious freedom, they would be British. Their heads are spinning right now. Give them a minute. |

| *Their version of Christianity which to many of us Christians is very antithetical to the teachings of Jesus. |

| A free nation assumes Christian morality. Separation of church and state is Christian principle. |

Did you have this much angst when democrats were pushing the state of Michigan to install foot baths in State Universities for muslims at public expense? |

MAGA = Christian nationalism, which is not Christianity, it is anti Christ. There is nothing in the MAGA agenda which reflects the Sermon on the Mount. |

| They want a nation where it's free to be racist and abuse women. |

Morality does not need to be "Christian" morality. It is a false premise that human morality comes from religion. |

Maybe it's your atheism, but you seem really confused. |

That is self-contradictory |
