Trump Is Right About Biden’s Secularism

He will war on the religious.

Donald Trump has correctly predicted that a Biden administration will undermine religion in America. “Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything,” Trump said last week, forecasting what Biden will do. “Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns.”

Biden has spoken of the limits of religious freedom — meaning that he will not support it whenever it conflicts with the goals of liberalism.

Barack Obama famously said that bitter Americans cling to their “God and guns,” and implied that his “fundamental transformation” of the country would free them from those constraints. It was Obama’s way of restating Marx’s dismissal of religion as the “opiate of the masses.” But Obama, for all his persecution of the religious, didn’t complete the task. It falls now to Joe Biden to pick up where Obama left off. Toward that end, Biden has promised Planned Parenthood and NARAL that he will resume Obama’s persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor and other Christians.

Biden has spent his life saying that his faith has no place in politics, that he will not “impose” it on Americans. But he is happy to impose the immorality of the Democrats on Americans and drive Christians from the public square. Should he win, he will court-martial Christian chaplains who don’t submit to the LGBTQ ethos and will persecute those who don’t submit to his regime of abortion rights. Obama’s war on the religious will accelerate under Biden, all in the name of liberalism’s godless goals. Biden will predicate every American’s interaction with the federal government on an acceptance of liberalism’s “morality,” which grows more freakish by the year.
