Letters: God doesn’t need the help of politicians

As we draw closer to our nation’s 250th birthday, it’s worth reviewing the evolution of our revolution. Let’s briefly study the history of American freedom of religion.

On Christmas Day, 2025 Trump activist Laura Loomer posted this on social media: “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than by avenging the death of Christians through the justified mass killing of Islamic terrorists (in Nigeria). You’ve got to love it! Death to all Islamic terrorists! Thank you.” Our president and numerous other self-described “good” Christians honored the birth of Jesus, the man of peace, with similar statements, notwithstanding the fact that the Nigerian government has repeatedly said that ISIS terrorists also kill Muslims in the mostly Muslim country.

Vice-President J. D. Vance said in December that “the only thing that has truly served as an anchor of the United States of America is that we have been, and by the grace of God we always will be, a Christian nation.”
