“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.
Oh vey, someone got triggered hard. ;)
Even though there are a lot of communities which share such views, I wouldn’t be so bold as to shove all users of Lemmy into the same drawer.
No. It doesn’t. I don’t know you. You could be an alright person for all I know. Although your reaction gives me the impression the other is the case. I didn’t address you specifically, did I? I made a general statement about religion.
Furthemore, even though not necessarily offended, I am usually concerned about religious people.
If you live it for yourself and keep it to yourself, I can tolerate it. But if you drag others into it or proselytising dangerous fairy tales, you will find me freely practising criticisim of that.
What a marvellous religion it must be, which teaches such warm-hearted values. /s
Who doesn’t achieve anything here? Who are you talking about? You don’t really know much about me or other users on this platform.
Also, bold generalisation again. I for example, don’t dismiss someone for not perfectly fitting my ideals. And I would be surprised if the majority of users here would differ from handling it similarly.
To me, personally, a world free of (organized) religion actually matters a lot.
Good thing, that I don’t then. ;)
