Trump administration will join a prayer gathering criticized for promoting Christian nationalism
President Donald Trump and several top administration officials are joining with a cast of mostly conservative Christian clergy this Sunday on the National Mall in Washington for a prayer gathering billed as a "rededication of our country as One Nation Under God upon Americas 250th birthday.
But some critics call the Rededicate 250 event an effort to hijack U.S. history with a false, Christian nationalist narrative one they say fuses American and Christian identities and threatens a constitutional separation of church and state.
The daylong program is being organized by a nonprofit called Freedom 250. Its website describes it as a public-private partnership leading the presidential programming for America's 250th anniversary, which culminates with the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4.
Congressional Democrats have questioned the organization's structure and finances, which they see as a Trump-controlled end run around a separate commission charted by Congress a decade ago to prepare semiquincentennial events.

A gathering of fake Christians in other words.
