- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- This week on Freethought Matters, FFRF Co-Presidents Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker demonstrate how Christian nationalism is already taking shape within President Donald Trump's second term and how Trump's actions are expected to weaponize religious liberty.

"Make America pray again." It makes it sound like I don't have a choice. It's a very superficial way to bolster a religion in decline.
Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.”
We always have a choice to not comply.
All of this makes me ill and angry.
Why?
Yes, I'm losing sleep over this criminal.😢
It should they are lying to you
I can not stand the idea of religion being forced on people, especially Christian evangelical nationalism it's such a nauseating thing..rage. pure rage... I won't tolerate it
What an episode!
Thanks for all you do, and let’s keep pushing for actual religious freedom and freedom from religion.
I don't care what religion people want to practice, but these people want to force their dogma on the country.
Yes, stuff like Deuteronomy 22:28-29: "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."
They may try, but they cannot. We are all free to believe what we choose.
Can you give me one example where?
You want to force your opinion on others
This is why I joined the ACLU
I cannot believe that these are honourable, intelligent people.
They're Not !
They are not.
Obviously they aren't.
@@mytwocents848 Sorry I miss spoke. They are not the monsters in Revelation, they are the beasts.
Love you both.
Please take care in this fortuitous time.
Our Allegiance is to our Creator The Great Pumpkin. Hollow be his Core.
Hollow be his Core.
Hollow be his Core.
Holloe be his Core.
l don't believe in the Great Pumpkin either, just sounds like *pulp* fiction to me.
This would be funny...if it weren't so true! 😢😮😢
I cannot even bring myself to watch this! 😢
The Flying Spaghetti Monster, hollow be his noodle.
I could not sit through this one. I would have loved to listen to you two more - discussing the statements, what it means, what maybe can be done, etc., but to just post video after video of this horror (much of which I've heard and seen before) was overkill - and overwhelming. I keep in touch with what is going on, but I limit my exposure to the actual sight and voice of Trump. To protect what's left of my OWN sanity.
I hope you are seeking medical attention
@@rickspalding3047 I get medical attention for my Crohn's disease and ileostomy, thank you. But if you cannot grasp why the situation in this country is stress-inducing, then YOU are the one who needs medical attention.
He is unfit for office, period. 😢.
we are in deep trouble. I was not a fan of Biden but I sure do miss Biden... could we have a recount? thank you Jesus for putting us in this mess .
What a stupid comment. If we had a recount, Trump would win by an even bigger margin. The democrats couldn’t cheat their way to victory this time.
*Yeah, way to go, jeebus!*
Miss Biden😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You miss Biden?
Denying the election results, are we? I thought that was insurrectionist talk? :)
first time watcher, long time thinker
Don’t waste your time. These guys from Ffrf talk about the stupidest things that they can’t change.
@@markderamo9229 isn't that media in general
@ Pretty much, but nobody actually DOES anything to create positive change in this world.
@@markderamo9229 Not even you?
@ I do, but very few others around the world do.
The Founding Fathers never intended for Religion and Politics to be mixed
It's always been mixed
Wrong
A millimeter miss is a measure of marksmanship not miracles.
This is really scary, guys! Even for American Christians! Machiavellianism anyone?
I dont think so
Please help me with the best terminology to accurately describe Trump and Musk.
I have all these words, but none is strong enough.
A person who rips off others and poor people is often called a con artist, swindler, or fraudster.
Anti Robin Hoods... taking from the poor to give to the rich.
I find "fascist" and "evil" to be apt descriptors, to start
Look up the Dark Triad. It's a psychology term and it fits him and everyone working for him.
Damn, I can see all the monsters in Revelation in these unholy prayers.
The only "hell" I believe in is the one that humans create.
It's okay, those monsters aren't real
@@MrPeterschmit Sorry I miss spoke. They are not the monsters in Revelation, they are the beasts.
"War on christians"? LOL. If there were a war on christians, I'd've enlisted long ago.
In reality, it is their war on everyone else.
This will be the Rubicon crossing. Ffrf, Thank you for your vital work!
When the Senate confirmed Russell Vought as OMB director after 30 hours of protest on the Senate floor, that was when the Rubicon was crossed.
We cannot go after religious nationalism without going after the religion that spawns it. If we only go after one then the other will continue to create it.
The Trump Bible also dispenses mustard. Can't put a price tag on that.
I saw a debate between Dan and James White. When James stated that he would cite Dan's published work during the course of the evening, Dan panicked and declared that this would be unfair and out of bounds!
Thank you
Thank you!
The irony of it all is that Trump claims he is a Christian. Trump held the Bible upside down and when asked about his knowledge of the Bible is simply said 2nd Corinthians that's the whole ballgame???
And in his own book he said that he has Kabbalah master teaching him Kabbalah.
I seem to remember that in his last administration he claimed "Mein Kampf" was his favorite book.
expensive, expansive, extensive and exclusive,
such is the church of religion.
All of Trump's horses and all of Trump's men can't put religion back together again.
Wonder how Christians would feel if they were the minority in a Hindu, Moslem, etc. country?
Huh? They are already.
As a former Christian, this makes me sick…
There are many countries where we are free to practice any religion or none.
Frightening!
The whole religion thing is to me revolting!
Can we the people rise up against this terrorism?😢
How could I ever help?😮
Why does this program look like it's out of the 90s?
the christo fascists have risen.
❤
"...but nowadays, we are in rebellion against the image of the authoritarian father. Especially that this should happen in the United States, where it happens that we are a Republic and not a monarchy. And if you, as a loyal citizen of this country, think that a Republic is the best form or government, you can hardly believe that the universe is a monarchy." - Alan Watts
Allauh says in the Qur'an: "whoever wants to believe let them believe and whoever wants to disbelieve let them disbelieve."
Those girls mentality never left high school hee hee hee giggle giggle
I hope all those people he laid off will stop tithing.
Well millions and millions of us constitutional loving folks have to go to Washington. Millions of us will make the thng in the oval office notice. Crowds are all he cares about
If this keeps going on we will rise. Like never ever before.
And we will march without violence.....unlike the other side.
I hate saying the "other" side....but they have done this.
Get your sneakers out and ready.
Every accusation made is a confession....by all of trumpland.
Why did I think this was an Onion piece
Seems to me that Elon Musk is who we need to be worried about.
Wow I thought Jerry Falwell used the evangelical right but Trump is eating them alive.
He probably doesn't know a bible verse. That is why he didn't answer the question?
making a “shadow” anything means taking an oath outside the one you take
asking soemone to break the oath of office is violating the oath…
I would get Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris in on this and go after them with everything. We already have the AG and governor in Louisiana trying to get religous doctrine posted in public schools.
I have one response to any religious issue.
Keep your beliefs out of my business.
You got to listen to chris hedges interview with Marc lamont
Trump religion the almighty dollar
cruelty is the key word for trumps presidency
25:13 Actually, that's not quite correct -- CNN did air the recording, but they first acquired it from the CENTER FOR CLIMATE REPORTING, which did record that conversation with Vought.
0:29 this theme song slaps. Like satc
America is doomed.
How can I join ?
13:35 I am sorry but that is not true, I am much free-er to believe what i like in this country, the Netherlands, or many other European and other countries, than you are over there... Land of the free... I hope you get there soon.
No, you are not.
Its called the great trick. I knew Lee Greanwoods x wife Mealnie Greenwood he had 2 children after they married from 2 other woman he didnt tell her about after they married. During their divorce my partner and I cleaned her sisters house in rancho cordova calif
3:36 “The king James version, the worst version isn’t it folks”
Blood Money Worshippers. Very creepy 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
2:13 “our creator” is a ancient rich person delusion that has propagated through the millennia as a way to control the levers of society.
Humanists have the ability to utilize the “power” of the believers’ delusion.
So we all got here by magic out of nothing? LOL
@ Where is your evidence that there was nothing?
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 it says free thought
Thank you for the update. Now go and get some bubbly, young presenters to run the show, the current one is few decades out!
You can twist words but not what is happening in my community. What nonsense!
Like we all say after every one of your Trump love-fest shows…..”This is all nice, but what do you want me to do about it”? People are free to believe whatever they want in this country. Stop trying to deny it and get used to it.
Does this channel have a standard of what christian nationalism is? Do you condemn the old establishment that killed innocent women and children for democracy in the middle east that collapsed in spectacular fashion?
Grifting at the highest level..
Why hasn't Jesus taught anything new since his death???
Because it's all fiction.
@Trumps_ak_hunt History from outside the Bible says otherwise!!! You are simply in DENIAL!!!
I like Trump but I disagree with bulldozing the wall of separation. Any preference of one religion over another conflicts with the establishment clause of the first amendment
"apatheist", lol
Please stop beginning your programs by saying that we are co-presidents of the FFR. That doesn’t sound intelligent.
They are, and we also have co-presidents of the United States now.
All that matters to me is Japanese and Chinese "SHEBURGER SHEBURGER"🍔🍔
Church and state have always been separate in the US. That does not mean religion is or can be separated from government. Everyone operates by a worldview whether Christian or some other.
I don’t have a problem with what they’re doing now. I support project 2025. Only thing in project 2025 I don’t like is reestablishing blue/Sunday laws. It’s on page 589.
Please also speak up and speak out on the dangerous religious dogma that is trans ideology. So so disappointed in the development there for ffrf.
Bro, you're obsessed. Maybe quit your own cult first.
Who did Trump appoint as the head of the Christian Nationalist movement? Where are they located? Is this like the Moral Majority scare you pulled years ago?
I love the content, but why does it look like this was filmed in 1983 😂
Christ is king. I love Trump, thank you. Free thinkers, really.
