Trump administration urges federal employees to talk religion at work

Federal employees can display religious items at work, pray in groups while not on duty and encourage co-workers to adopt their faith, according to guidance released Monday by the Office of Personnel Management, which manages the federal civilian workforce.

Can atheists laugh openly at their work colleagues?

WTF??!!

Yeah, I don’t give deference to religion. I think religious people are brainwashed.

Can't talk about Epstein when you're yammering about religion

The goal is to force more resignations as the new Christian nationalist hires are empowered to bully everyone daily.

I’ve had those freaks talking to me at work about their faith since my 20s. They never shut up about it.

I hope the Church of Satan starts holding prayer meetings at workplaces!

The open conversion of America to crappy Christianity.

I wonder what they do with accepting Episcopalians?

What.the.fuck. It’s like the country is hell bent on going back to the 1880s.

Doesn't this directly go against non discrimination in the workplace on the basis of religion?

I am sure the Trump administration would encourage all Satanist to identify themselves so their jobs can be terminated.

"During a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should re-think his religious beliefs. However, if the nonadherent requests such attempts to stop, the employee should honor the request,” the memo added. “An employee may invite another to worship at her church despite being belonging to a different faith.”

He just keeps poking into everything to divert attention from anything he's afraid of. He can't think of all of the things to mess up on his own.

His administration knows that Trump's mind is going so they're taking full advantage to run amok.

Do we get to try to convert them as well? Cause that could be interesting. At least with the hot ones.

I used to tell people, "You try not to convert me to your religion, and I'll try not to convert you to lesbianism."

I always got the wide eyes then!

The Supreme Court voided Affirmative Action and all DEI actions are shit canned and the Supreme Court got rid of the Administrative Procedures Act, reversing Chevron, shit canned subject matter experts and destroyed the structure of American government. Expect to start your work days with a Christian prayer and a passing of the.plate.

I've stopped shopping at a grocery store whose janitor preaches at the customers. But I'm retired & can vote with my feet -- people who need their jobs aren't so lucky. Sue this bastard, ACLU!

Can I talk about how I worship Satan? Put up pictures of Anton LeVey? It’s a religion!

Maybe I’ll wear a shirt with a photo of Jim Jones and pass out packages of Flavor Aid?

Hate to say this, but if you work for the Fed, it’s now your civic duty to adopt a religion that isn’t Christianity, and then become highly devout. I’m talking Pagans, Witches, Astrology, Reiki, Yoga, Chakras, Hinduism, Buddhism, all New Age-y Granola Stuff, plus Unitarian Universalists, and Episcopalians, oh Episcopalians!! And Quakers!! Be the most progressively liberal Christian they’ve ever meant, the one who knows that Jesus laughs if we get drunk as a skunk (or imbibe in other goodies) once a year for fun, the one who knows that Jesus had a ho named Mary as his CO-captain, the one who knows that Jesus ran with the queers who drank beers, the whores, all the alphabet people, basically our more fun, free people who live more in the margins.

Be that progressive Christian who *supports a woman’s right to choose*, the one who officiates gay weddings, the one who feeds the hungry for real, the one actually working on jails and prisons (!!), the ones tending to the ill and the dying. Be that one progressive Christian who forces them to talk about child sex abuse in churches and what type of policy they think should be in place for this problem? Be the one that asks why their church won’t allow women to teach. Be the one that asks if their church leaders (pastors, worship band, other staff) look like the community they serve.

Talk about issues on reforming the faith movement they belong to, ask ChatGPT of the best points you could make on say an Evangelical or a Conservative Catholic to force them to confront that their movement is filled with hypocrisy. Yes, you will get fired, but you will walk away with a decent severance and you’ll have made them miserable and uncomfortable for as long as possible, a win for America. Ruin them, one at a time. And remember — this doesn’t have to be your 24/7 belief system. Just turn it on for them at work! Then when you’re off, go back to being a MFing whatever, free thinker. 🤡🤡🤡

It's time to incorporate or rather non profit the gay/lesbian movement.

by Anonymousreply 30July 29, 2025 5:19 AM

This is a culling tactic that is the next step in identifying who is who in the office. This is a very dangerous step and leads to outright compartmentalizing non-believers, gays, atheists, and anyone who is not a Christian fascist.

I knew it was going to be bad. It's going to get way, way, way worse.
