Rep. Jared Huffman on Trump... rededicate America as a "Christian Nation [View all]

Huffman and a few other Reps. with quotes from history on the separation of church and state.

5 minute video.

This weekend, Trump is trying to rededicate America as a "Christian Nation". How about we rededicate ourselves back to reality?Â

250 years ago, our founders created America to be free from religion. And my colleagues in the Freethought Caucus have the receipts.
