"RNC Delegates Split on Making America a Christian Nation – You Won't Believe What They Say!"

 Harmeet Dhillon, National Committeeman of the Republican National Committee for California, offered a prayer to close the proceedings of the Republican National Convention on Monday evening. The prayer that Dhillon, a Sikh recited in Punjabi.

sounded to have a universal communication — one line of the English  restatement reads, “ In your grace and through your benevolence, we  witness peace and happiness. ”  But despite this  putatively  inarguable communication, Dhillon's prayer set off a  disagreement in the far-right corners of Christian Twitter. 

After Dhillon  supplicated, Andrew Torba, CEO of the right-  sect social media platform Gab, fumed to his 400,000 followers on X, “ Last night you saw why Christian Nationalism must be  simply and explicitly Christian. 

Zero forbearance for pagan false gods and the temple of Satan. ” Oklahoma RepublicanSen. Dusty Deevers appears to agree. “ Christians in the Republican Party who quietly nod along while  soliciting to the devil god are a disgrace, ” he wrote. 

Lauren Witzke, former patron of right-  sect livestreamer Stew Peters, adds her voice to the chorus. “ How about you just get deported, you infidel blasphemers, ” he wrote to his 159,000 followers. “ God save our  chairman and the RNC is mocking him with this  witchery. ” 

I asked several delegates what they allowed

about Dhillon's prayer, and, given the growing Christian nationalist movement among Republicans, about their  station on the separation of church and state more astronomically. 

utmost of them told me that they believe that the United States should be a Christian country, but that they aren't opposed to the idea of members of other  persuasions  rehearsing their religion. 

Brenda King, an alternate delegate from Colorado, said she believes  godly intervention saved former President Trump from an assassination attempt last Saturday. He “ likes ” the idea of posting the 10 Commandments in public  academy classrooms, although he also believes that “ religion absolutely should have nothing to do with government. ” 

Christy Haik, a delegate from Louisiana and  chairman of that state's group of delegates, was the only delegate I spoke with who told me explicitly that she didn't  authorize of Dhillon's prayer. 

“ It makes me feel uncomfortable for a lot of reasons, ” he said. “ The first reason is that I am not really sure what he is saying and he is  presumably doing some kind of spell. ” Haik, who said he “ was at the Capitol on January 6 to support our constitution, ” told me he thinks “ that there shouldn't be a separation of church and state. 

The launching Fathers did not mean it that way. During this time it all came a bit of a  hustler. ” Dan Musholt, a delegate from Canton, Missouri, said he saw no problem with Dhillon's prayer, but like Haik, he believes that “ the doctrines or principles that Christians believed in were the base for the authors to hold everything together. 

” he said. Regarding the United States, he said, “ I  suppose, if you aren't a Christian,  also this is  presumably not the right place. ”
