President Trump's creation of a White House Faith Office to protect Christianity disregards the separation of church and state, as guaranteed in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
A secular government that safeguards the freedom of its citizens to practice different religions without discrimination is critical to its survival.
In contrast, a nation that encourages a single religion sabotages the democratic principles of individual freedom and equality.
Religious favoritism marginalizes those who do not share the state-sanctioned dominant faith, enabling an environment of discrimination.
Democracy thrives when diversity and inclusivity are prioritized, respecting the rights of all citizens, regardless of their faith.
Trump is misguided in his attempt to establish Christianity as the sole religion of the United States.
Religion is a personal choice for every man, woman and child. It should never be decided by the government.
