A Congressman leads a prayer on the White House lawn.
A Supreme Court ruling is handed down “in God’s name.”
A war in the Middle East is justified by biblical prophecy.
Meanwhile—on the other side of the world—China runs its entire government with no divine references at all.
So, tell me—who’s actually running a theocracy?
I. The U.S. Constitution Was Clear: Church and State Must Stay Separate
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
This was designed to stop any single religion from dominating the government.
In 1960, when John F. Kennedy ran for president, many Americans feared his Catholic background would make him loyal to the Pope, not the Constitution. So JFK gave a historic speech:
“I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute… where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace.”
He won that election—because he made religion a private matter, not a political platform.
That America is gone.
II. Religion Is Quietly Taking Over U.S. Politics
Let’s look at what’s happening now:
Congressional prayer sessions are held inside government buildings.
U.S. lawmakers openly cite the Bible when crafting legislation.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade wasn’t driven by medical science—it was driven by religious morality.
Politicians like Speaker Mike Johnson have said "the Bible is the foundation of American law."
This isn’t just freedom of religion.
This is religion shaping public law—a direct violation of what the Constitution intended.
III. Meanwhile, in China: Atheism Is the Rule—By Design
The Chinese Communist Party is officially atheist.
Its foundational ideology—dialectical materialism—rejects divine intervention in any form.
