Mike Johnson stood on stage during a 250th anniversary prayer event and pushed the same tired Christian nationalist lie: that America was founded on “Christian principles.”
Really?
Was legalized slavery Christian?
Was the Three-Fifths Compromise Christian?
Was chattel slavery Christian?
Was Jim Crow Christian?
Was segregation Christian?
Were lynchings Christian?
Was Tulsa Christian?
Was Rosewood Christian?
Was Red Summer Christian?
Were literacy tests, poll taxes, and voter suppression Christian?
The truth is simple: America was not founded as some holy Christian nation. It was founded by men who talked about liberty while owning human beings. Christian nationalism exists to sanitize that history, erase Black suffering, and convince white conservatives that their political power is God-ordained.
This is not faith. This is propaganda.
And when politicians like Mike Johnson wrap American history in a Bible, they are not defending Christianity. They are defending whitewashed history, white political power, and a nationalist mythology that lets America avoid telling the truth about itself.
Today’s Rededicate 250 event on the National Mall was backed by the White House and featured conservative religious and political figures, including Speaker Mike Johnson, while critics warned it blurred church-state lines and promoted Christian nationalism.

My mission is to tear down the patriarchy and help build a society rooted in true equality. I believe in free will - period. Free will for women to choose what they do with their bodies. For people to love who they want. To choose any religion they want. And most importantly, not to have Christianity forced onto our children in schools.
