This is a great way of covering our county, state and country in prayer. God knows, we need it in these times !

In keeping with the lack of an established state religion in the United States, unlike in many European nations at the time, Article Six of the United States Constitution specifies that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States”, meaning that no official state religion will be established.

….did they ever consider adding a priest, rabbi, reverend, or a dreaded imam to a speaker slot?

You know there are rules about desecrating a flag. That ones shown is not regulation. Also, making Jesus’s sacrifice a political symbol (by coopting it) and not purely a religious one is blasphemy. Neither patriotic nor reverant in my book.

When the leadership, aka Trump, is signing the flag like a celebrity and posting AI images of themselves as the pope… the outrage here is misplaced at best.
