Trump Just Gave Religious Zealots The OK To 'Persuade' Their Coworkers But don’t worry, the Trump administration has come up with a foolproof way to ensure this doesn’t veer into harassment.

“This is a power flex, it’s not about protecting freedom of religion,” the Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social, CEO and president of Interfaith Alliance and an ordained Baptist minister, said.

“This is trying to exercise control and trying to impose your religion on everyone else.”

“It's essential that our houses of worship remain outside the partisan fray, unbeholden to any political figure or group. This decision could open the floodgates to dark money operations that would turn sacred spaces into fronts for shady political schemes." -Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social

Just the "polite discussion" aka missionizing, proselytizing, and harassing we want at work. I like learning about faith, but not the "mine is the way" approaches.

A text-based graphic says "Calling all faith leaders and pro democracy advocates! There's still time to apply for the upcoming cohort of the Interfaith Leadership Network. Apply or nominate a faith leader in your community by July 31st."

This is yet another dangerous infringement on healthy boundaries between government and religion — and it undercuts true religious freedom.

Trump administration reminds federal employees they can proselytize in the office Supervisors can solicit employees to attend their church, OPM says in new guidance.

"During a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should re-think his religious beliefs."

The Trump administration has issued a new memo empowering federal workers to proselytize in the workplace. 🙃

In its season premiere episode titled “Sermon on the 'Mount” (yes, as in Paramount), South Park lampooned the rise of Christian nationalism in our public schools.

“Christianity was used to justify slavery. It was also used by abolitionists to tear it down.” -Texas State Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social

I know the AI video was posted as a distraction from the Epstein files AND IT IS UTTERLY VILE

“If there's some relationship between my faith and my comedy it's that no matter what happens you are never defeated. You must understand and see this in the light of eternity and find some way to love and laugh with each other.” -Stephen Colbert

ICYMI: The current president recently posted a fake AI video of President Obama being arrested. Make no mistake: this is an intentional distraction from the Epstein files.

Baptist minister and our President & CEO @raushenbush.bsky.social wants to remind us that NONE of this is normal.

Proud to see Interfaith Alliance of the Bluegrass's Zina Merkin repping the interfaith pro-democracy movement at last week’s Good Trouble National Day of Action rally in Lexington, Kentucky!

Theocracy cherry-picks the Bible for verses that create a case for control by a few religious insiders and compliance by everyone else. This is, of course, the goal of Christian Nationalism.

“I’m a Christian and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy.” - @jamestalarico.bsky.social

“It's deeply offensive to Catholics across this nation and it reeks of anti-Catholicism.” - @reptimkennedy.bsky.social

This is what faith leadership looks like. Four clergy, all from different faith traditions remind the community that US law and scripture demand due process for all @maddow.msnbc.com @ncronline.bsky.social @uusj.bsky.social @interfaithalliance.org

Congressman, civil rights hero, and ordained Baptist minister John Lewis died 5 years ago today. Our national office staff is joining the “Good Trouble Lives on National Day of Action” today on Capitol Hill in D.C. and Interfaith Alliance members are participating in actions across the country.

Happy Good Trouble Day to all who are celebrating! God do I miss Rev. John Lewis - and it is up to us to make sure his joyful spirit lives on!

Amen and congratulations to Meg Stalter on the success of her new show, Too Much. Meg is showing the world that it’s more than okay to be both Christian and gay. 🏳️‍🌈🙏

So grateful for @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social

“The politicization of houses of worship will open the door to so much harm in our politics, and will inevitably hurt LGBTQ people in particular. The way we’ve had separation of church and state has been critical for LGBTQ rights to flourish," said Interfaith Alliance's @guthriegf.bsky.social.

Our Florida affiliate, Interfaith Alliance of Southwest Florida, condemns the construction of a detention camp in the Everglades.

Interfaith group denounces detention camp in the Everglades | Opinion There is no faith tradition that proactively calls for cruelty, although sadly there are some people who claim faith to justify cruelty to others

Pride Is Disappearing in Libraries Across the U.S.: Book Censorship News: July 11, 2025 What happened in libraries during Pride this year? A whole lot of quiet censorship that was anything but quiet.

So what happened in libraries nationwide during Pride last month? Two library workers were fired over book displays, several drag story hours saw protests, and most glaringly, there was FAR LESS programming for Pride than in any recent memory.

That + censorship news.
