Correct.
As Americans have been doing since George Washington prayed for our troops at Valley Forge.

#ChristianNationalism doesn't work for all Christians since the gov't will make theological decisions that mark 1 tradition as "right," even on simple things like picking a Bible verse or prayer. Worship services at Department of Labor show this problem: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/department-o…

Latest monthly worship service at Department of Labor occurred today. Here's my report:

@FFRF And unfortunately it's not the first time he's read from that war Psalm. He shared longer excerpt at Pentagon worship service in Jan., adding that he studied it as part of preparation for Venezuela operation:

Government officials quoting bible verses about war from the Pentagon podium should alarm anyone who cares about the Constitution.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recited a prayer for US troops attacking Iran, asking for strength and protection, during a Pentagon briefing.
American and Israeli officials have been criticised for pushing rhetoric suggesting that the campaign against Iran is a religious war.

@newrepublic Missing from you piece is important fact that this isn't the 1st time he's used that Psalm. Also read it during Pentagon worship service in January & said he was studying it during preparations for Venezuela operation:

.@SECWAR “I’ll close with scripture, drawing strength from Psalm 144: ‘Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge.’ May the Lord grant unyielding strength and refuge to our warriors; unbreakable protection to them and our homeland; and total victory over those who seek to harm them. Amen.

If you literally ripped the Ten Commandments out of your Bible & taped it in a TX, LA or AR classroom, it'd be in violation of those states’ so-called Ten Commandments laws. Politicians made actual text of the Bible illegal for not having the "right" words

LSU prez defends move by saying, “Personally, I think shining a light on God is never a negative thing."
As I explain in podcast about such pushes for Ten Commandments, such #ChristianNationalism actually is a negative thing & can drive people from God:

LSU president says school will post Ten Commandments in all classrooms (lailluminator.com/2026/02/27/lsu…). But that's not really true. They're posting a highly edited version mandated by state lawmakers but not actually found in any Bible: dogma.wordandway.org/rewriting-the-…

To unpack how the Ten Commandments have been edited in state bills & what this means for religious liberty, in the episode I talk with @rachelklaser of @americansunited & @MarkChancey Southern Methodist University: dogma.wordandway.org/rewriting-the-…

Under Noem's leadership, DHS has posted several videos co-opting Bible verses (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/the-bible-ac…). The videos usually also showed her at some point. Guess she's not the chosen one after all.

We still need to abolish ICE, but it's great seeing Noem demoted.
This moment also indicts the Foursquare Church, the Pentecostal denomination that Noem is part of. They still haven't criticized her or ICE. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/the-silence-…

State lawmakers have pushed bills they say will mandate posting the Ten Commandments in public schools. But there's a problem: you won't find that language in any version of the Bible.
