Apparently, "freedom" is having fundy Protestant dogma crammed down everyone's throat, by the government.

The twisted history Trump’s White House is using to redefine religious freedom

Yet a new draft report from a Trump administration task force presents a competing vision of America's tradition of religious liberty — one that argues that the founders wanted as much religion, everywhere, as possible — and that makes the case that our understanding of religious freedom has been corrupted by 20th-century European secularists and radical progressives aiming to eliminate religion from public life.

"The uniquely American approach to religious liberty," they argue, is one "in which religion is not merely indulged by the government, but rather honored as a natural right, fundamental to the flourishing of a free society."

In all, it calls for a plethora of policy and legal changes rooted in an alternative history that government should be welcoming religion into daily public life, not concerned with limiting or restricting it, even if it's in the name of religious pluralism. To deny this is to attack religious liberty.

Yup. I spent my formative years at a Baptist lodge, learning their sort of "freeedom".

Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity.

And there’s the vulnerability in their project.

Unless we’ve given up on the notion that “freedom” actually means freedom.

In his EO last year, Trump the Magnificent listed all the sorts of people who are now enemies of the state. One of those types is "anti-Christian", and *he* is defining what is "Christian".

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence

Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.

Anyone who has paid the least bit of attention knows that Trump is not religious or even spiritual in any way. But he knows how to manipulate his MAGA followers and they follow him like happy little sheep being led to the slaughter.

You got that right!...

Of course, that turned out to be very bad advice...
