“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.
The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.
The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.
The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.
I’m not particularly anti-religious, but this is essentially the “not all men” argument in clerical robes.
This is the fundamental reason that religion is a problem in the first place though. Someone starts a religion based on what they believe, they get into a position of authority, and soon they’re asking for more from their followers: more money, more resources, more women… Etc, etc.
Sorry, maybe I did a bad job at explaining myself - I think all of the religious institutions are bad because they take advantage of the people, not just some of them. I just wanted to extend that to other non-religious ones that do the same.
If that’s not what you meant, do you mind explaining why this is a “not all men” argument?
