"Among the deluge of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump was a curious one that went largely under the radar: an order 'Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias.' The order purports to 'end the anti-Christian weaponization of government,' charging that 'the previous Administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses.'”

"In his bombastic proclamations, Trump repeatedly asserts, incorrectly, that Christian identity and opposition to abortion and LGBTQ rights are synonymous. But today, such an equation is true for only a small fraction of America’s major religious groups—principally white evangelical Protestants and Latino Protestants (who also predominantly identify racially as white and theologically as evangelical)."

"In the royal MAGA court, 'Christian' isn’t a term that describes someone who is a follower of Jesus or a member of a church. It is a privileged, protected status awarded by the Great Leader to politically useful religious people, preferably white rather than Black, and evangelical rather than mainline or Catholic or Orthodox."

"With this sleight of hand, Trump’s 'Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias' order licenses persecution of Christian (or other) groups he declares disloyal, while permitting favoritism of white evangelical Protestants to masquerade as religious liberty."

To disrupt the Christian image of MAGA, it's helpful to know the founders of our so-called "Christian nation" were pro-abortion.

Here's an article on the history of abortion and the sick eugenics behind the original anti-abortion movement, which started in the mid 19th century:

Even the Puritans practiced abortion (as did England), and, at times, were very lax in limiting premarital and extramarital sex:
