“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.

The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

Do they mean like when their leadership is revoking student visas, going Leviticus 19:34 states: "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself".

    Religion is a big fuckin sham. At best it’s brainwashing people to fawn over fictional characters and at worst it’s a disgusting grift to get rich (tax free not to mention) by taking advantage of people’s fear and insecurities. The world could use needs more secularism.

    At least now I have something to yell if a member of the US government attempts to grab me off the street—“This is religious persecution! I’m a Christian!”

    It should take them a while to sort that out.

    My job is working in government. I also happen to be Christian.

    But at church I'm not a government employee, and at work I'm not a Christian, because one has nothing to do with the other. Separation of church and state is good for both institutions.

    I was just recently having an internal debate on whether to refer to the US government as extremist Christians or not. I guess this solves that dilemma.

    What baffles me is like, if you have to set a theological standard for a government then you'll have to persecute 99% of Christians too, cause this one flavor of evangigilical baptist or whatever that is leading the fray alienates all of the catholics and however many protestant denominations of Christianity. You cant have a Christian state and just assume all other Christians will fall in line behind your doctrine because Christianity itself can't agree on the doctrine.

    You're missing the bigger picture of "selective enforcement". If everyone is guilty, then there's no need to manufacture a pretext fire them or to arrest them and throw them jail possibly in El Salvador beyond the reach of the rule of law).
