This will leave a mark! COMMENTARY: Christianity declared illegal by executive action?

From a pastor in Clemson, SC

Read it all. He ain't skeered to call people out!
COMMENTARY: Christianity declared illegal by executive action?
Christianity has been declared illegal in the United States of America. There’s no prohibition against professing one’s faith in Jesus. In fact, speaking the name of the Christian savior is in vogue with the current presidential administration as was evident in the multiple Christian-specific prayers offered at President Trump’s inauguration. Prominent religious figures even suggest the most recent election was guided by divine action. The Rev. Franklin Graham declared: “I believe God’s hand was in [Trump’s election].” But is the hand of God visible in the fruits of this presidency?

He doesn't mention 45's declaration (platitude) that he'll support Christian right and Christian refugees. Instead, he points out how drumfps poorly written EO instills worry in churches trying to do the right thing.

They pick the parts of Christianity they like and then claim to be wholesome Christians.
