Government Workers Say They’re Getting Inundated With Religion

Government Workers Say They’re Getting Inundated With Religion
“This has never happened before,” one government employee tells WIRED. “I have never gotten a message like this from anyone.”On Easter Sunday, US Department of Agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins sent out an email titled “He has risen!” to the entire agency. In the email, Rollins calls the story of Jesus Christ the “greatest story ever told, the foundation of our faith, and the abiding hope of all mankind.
...“Since then, faith offices have sprung up across agencies, and Christianity has started appearing in office life. A July 2025 memo from the Office of Personnel Management titled “Protecting Religious Expression in the Federal Workplace” permits federal employees to essentially proselytize to their colleagues, so long as trying to “persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views” doesn’t cross the line into harassment. The memo also permits workers to “encourage” their colleagues “to participate in religious expressions of faith, such as prayer.” In response to a request for comment, an OPM spokesperson referred WIRED to the July 2025 memo.”

As long as it is voluntary and not coerced it is legal is my understanding. If one's participation is ever tied to job promotion, raises, etc., then the Rubicon has been crossed. I'm not saying that I agree with it, just that such actions are legal. Of course, so would promoting the practice of Islam or any other faith.
NYT Gift Article
A federal appeals court on Tuesday narrowly upheld a Texas law that requires public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
By 9-to-8, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the law does not violate the separation of church and state, reversing two lower court decisions. The court also ruled the measure does not restrict parents’ right to direct their children’s religious upbringing.
“Students are neither catechized on the Commandments nor taught to adopt them,” the ruling said. “Nor are teachers commanded to proselytize students who ask about the displays or contradict students who disagree with them.”
This is an absolutely moronic ruling. Those who applaud, justify, or handwave at this decision are endorsers of this grooming.

The 5th circuit is loading with political demagogues. Expect more rulings of such caliber.
I am sure that anyone who sends an agency-wide email proselytizing and encouraging participation in their Islamic or Hindu faiths will be treated with dignity and respect, while not a single Christian complains or whines about those emails.Government Workers Say They’re Getting Inundated With Religion

I know, fat chance of that happening. Christians always complain about freedom of religion while trying to silence all other religions.
