Obama Picks Liberal Who Hates Civil Religion To Run the Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives

At some point in your life, you’ve probably heard someone say, “If you are accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict?” When it comes to Barack Obama, the answer is a resounding “NO!”[1]

Secretary of State John Kerry announced Wednesday the formation of the Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives, which will be headed by Shaun Casey, a former religion advisor to President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign and a liberal professor who last year touted the end of ‘civil religion’ in the United States.

“I, frankly, am glad American civil religion is dying,” Casey said at a discussion last year at the Center for American Progress focused on “God and Politics” in the last presidential election.

…Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a Swiss-French philosopher, is credited with coining the term “civil religion” in his 1762 book in his series “The Social Contract.” Rousseau described civil religion as the “moral and spiritual foundation of modern society.”

Never in America’s history has it had a man as hostile to Christianity as Barack Obama. He’s trying to force the Catholic Church to violate its religious beliefs by providing abortion and birth control, he’s a rabid supporter of abortion and gay marriage, Christians are being persecuted in the military and Obama has been extremely friendly with rabidly anti-Christian groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Shaun Casey is just one more attack on people of faith. The real question isn’t how Obama could select Casey; it’s how any Christian could betray his own faith by continuing to support Obama.
