Biden State Department caught promoting atheism abroad
American Thinker ^ | 8/12/23 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 08/13/2023 6:10:56 AM PDT by CFW

The Biden administration is out promoting religion through the State Department door to the locals in other countries, on our taxpayer dime.

That right there is illegal, because the First Amendment states that there is to be no state sponsorship of anybody's religion.

What religion is it? Why, the religion of Democrats, which generally speaking, is atheism.

According to Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics:

"Rep. Mike McCaul, a Texas Republican who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican who heads the panel’s human rights subcommittee, are reviving a nearly year-long inquiry into a 2021 State Department grant they say is designed to expand the influence of atheists and humanists in the Middle East and North Africa.

The GOP House members argue that the program could be violating the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, which bars the use of tax dollars to promote theocracy or a specific religion.

McCaul, Smith, and Rep. Brian Mast, a Florida Republican, last week sent a letter to Erin Barclay, the State Department’s acting assistant secretary for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Affairs, and Rashad Hussain, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. The letter accuses both officials of “continued noncompliance” with their document requests regarding the atheism program.

“We write once again to ask why it is in America’s interest to promote atheism overseas and why the department refuses to provide certain documents that shed light on that misguided decision,” they wrote."

Hey I have a really bright and visionary idea. Let’s continue to elect UniParty hacks who have an R by their name so conservatives gain power and will put a stop to this.

Sarcasm.

2 Peter 3:2-4
21st Century King James Version

2 that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

3 knowing this first: that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts

4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

Almighty. Why would we elect such a disaster and Unbeliever?

2 Corinthians 4:3-6 King James Version

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 12:9 King James Version

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A9&version=KJV

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - George Orwell, '1984'

Atheism has taken on a new name

Secular Humanism

Which if researched into its founders

Is really just the new name of
Satanism.

A religion indeed.

This is yet another example of the Biden State Department giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

The great switch. Now the Russkies promote Christianity (albeit in a cynical manner), while we are the atheists.

USAID (currently under Obama's Samantha Power) and other bureaucracies have become populated with those "evangelical" sorts of "liberals" for whom sewing chaos in pursuit of some end is the game.

Same as the State Department busying itself with displaying the LGBT+ flag in nations around the world. Pretending to some sort of Judeo-Christian stance, the whole "gay" movement is essentially secular, and therefore a-theists," because a Theos or Deus stands in the way of their hedonism.
