Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.
Dec. 25, 2025
The Trump administration celebrated Christmas on Thursday by posting a series of religious messages from official government accounts, using language that drew criticism from those who pointed to the country’s separation of church and state.
While many lawmakers in both parties posted universal messages of love, joy and peace on the holiday, a number of cabinet members and agencies made references to Jesus and the religious meaning of Christmas.
“Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote. “May His light bring peace, hope, and joy to you and your families.”
“May His light bring peace, hope, and joy to you and your families.”
From a dude calling himself the Secretary of War.
A common misconception. You see, Christianity in the United States favors the variant of Jesus penned by Jacek Piekara. This Jesus is also known as the Butcher of Nazareth.
This Jesus instead decided to take revenge on the Romans, and all the people who betrayed him, with extreme prejudice. After butchering all the traitors and conquering the Roman Empire, Jesus left administration of the Empire to Peter.
This Jesus knew that mercy and tolerance are sins against God. It only makes sense that our Ministry of War wants to see Jesus’ vision through by purging anything that’s insufficiently loyal, as Jesus Himself would.
This Jesus instead decided to take revenge on the Romans, and all the people who betrayed him, with extreme prejudice. After butchering all the traitors and conquering the Roman Empire, Jesus left administration of the Empire to Peter.
Leaving out the part about Peter and all the seven-headed six-eyed symbolic monsters, that’s the plot of the Revelation of John.
Might as well openly admit that they’re The Ministry of Love.
Dude, imagine being religious and listening to anything this demon has to say
I’m not a believer but logically everyone who supports him is going to hell. The Bible specifically instructs Christians not to follow a false prophet that is described to be a guy a lot like Trump. My assessment was done with their rule book.
The Constitution is this musty old piece of paper Donald Trump wipes his oversized ass with. Haven’t you heard?
I for one, do not bow down to these idiotic zealot overlords. Kiss my ass [REDACTED] Administration.
This gives me hope that Drumpf knows that he’s dying and is trying to weasel his way into an afterlife that doesn’t consist of him having pineapples constantly shoved up his arse
Maybe he likes the pineapples and Epstein had videos of it.
Isn’t the whole CHRISTmas thing about Christianity and Christ?? I mean is in the word itself why then people complain about it?
Politicians pushing “their” religion isn’t really compatible with the separation of church and state indented by the first amendment.
They are still individuals, and social media are made of personal accounts, unless it was a federal agency account, personal accounts belongs to the person itself not to the government.
from official government accounts
It’s literally in the quoted part of the article in the OP.
I believe it depends on what exactly is an official government account or who defines it. I mean, if it’s an agency account like the FBI. CIA or whatever I think isn’t a personal account is more like an account which represents the whole agency, but if the account is from someone called Hank Roberts from Illinois president of whatever I believe is a personal account. Politicians are public figures but also individuals.
If the account is something like POTUS I think in that case yeah it is a government account. My whole point is, people are free to post whatever they want in personal accounts(the ones clearly linked to their identity) beside them being public figures.
It’s ok to admit when you’re wrong.
