Remember the 1st Amendment - The Freedom of Religion Clause

To: Pres. Trump, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Carter

From: A constituent in Leander, TX

December 22

This is a reminder, not a suggestion. The United States Constitution is explicit. The First Amendment states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That language leaves no room for interpretation, distortion, or political convenience. The United States is not a Christian nation. It is a nation founded on religious freedom and government neutrality toward religion. Your oath of office was not sworn to Christianity, or to any faith, or to the approval of religious groups. It was sworn to the Constitution of the United States. When government officials promote one religion, legislate based on religious doctrine, or claim divine authority for public policy, they are violating that oath. Religious freedom does not mean the freedom to impose your beliefs through law. It means the freedom for every American to believe—or not believe—without government interference or favoritism. That includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, and everyone else. History is unambiguous. Our founders rejected religious rule because they understood exactly where it leads: coercion, exclusion, and the erosion of liberty. They created a secular government precisely so faith could remain voluntary, meaningful, and free. Invoking religion to justify laws, public policy, or government action is not patriotism. It is unconstitutional. Using the power of the state to elevate one faith above others is not leadership. It is a direct violation of the First Amendment. The Constitution is not optional. It is not a talking point. It is the supreme law of the land. Do your job. Honor your oath. Stop using religion as a political weapon and start governing within the limits the Constitution clearly sets. America belongs to all its people—not one religion.
