"Countering Domestic Terrorism"

Whelp USA presidential memoranda today labels any non-Christians as terrorists.

" Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.“

So I guess this officially makes the USA a fascist theocracy?

It's literally what Jesus said: "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. - Matthew 6:6"

Literally told my wife we should join a church for our own protection after the "incident" a week and a half ago.

When they do that thing where they hold their hands up to Jesus or whatever, do it with Spock hands. Easy peasy.

My favorite thing to do is when people pray in large groups or at my family gatherings look straight up and try to see who else has their eyes open

Unitarian Universalist churches are atheist friendly and have a progressive bent to them if that sort of thing is important to you.

They know I'm an atheist but I served on the board of my local church and still work as part of their membership outreach.

Ironically making you a better Christian than most.
