Disinformation

Prayer Breakfasts

Stoke Disinformation, Lies

Don’t Despair, Share. Share the truth

    Edwardsville Ill. -- (RP News) -- 2/9/25 -- The organization Americans United for the Separation of Church and State has strongly criticized two Christian Nationalist focused prayer breakfasts at the nation's capitol on Feb. 6, one held in the Capitol building itself and the other in a non-governmental location and organized by the shadowly group "The Family."
    Announced at the second breakfast was the formation of a task force to fight supposed "anti-Christian bias" -- a presumption AU argues is build on lies and misinformation. 
   Andrew Seidel with AU writes:  "Christian Nationalism is an entire identity based on disinformation, as I’ve explained elsewhere. So it’s little surprise that Trump’s anti-Christian bias task force — which we believe will misuse religious freedom to justify bigotry and discrimination — is similarly based on disinformation.
    "Supporters of Americans United understand that when an institution lives only by lies, truth is revolutionary. Trump’s task force is a new institution built on lies and disinformation. One of the best ways to fight back against it is to share. Don’t despair, share. Share the truth."  Read the entire article here.
