Trump’s “Rededicate 250” Event: Naturalism Masquerading as Piety
The EWTN News portal (February 5, 2026) reports on Donald Trump’s National Prayer Breakfast speech announcing a May 17 event to “rededicate America as one nation under God” on Washington’s National Mall. The article highlights Trump’s emphasis on America’s Christian heritage, his “America Prays” initiative, new Education Department guidelines protecting school prayer, and policies opposing transgender surgeries and protecting religious speech. Trump framed prayer as “America’s superpower” while citing Nigeria’s Christian persecution and his administration’s restrictions on abortion funding. The piece presents these actions as evidence of religious resurgence under his leadership.
