The Trump administration will allow federal workers to promote their religious beliefs to colleagues, display religious items at work and pray together or individually, according to a memorandum issued by the Office of Personnel Management.

I guess I’m old-fashioned but I thought that you were supposed to work at work, not pray or proselytize.
Islam
Does he mean all religious beliefs, or just Nationalist Christian? Muslim, Hindu, Mormon, Buddhist ( yes I know it is just a philosophy). Hara Krishna (?) voodoo? Scientology? What other ones can you name
Church of Believe whatever you want! Just send $$money$$!!
Yes, those televangelist. Even the lady you see fake praying with the adulterer president ( even though the Bible says adultery is punishable by death)
I can finally get that satanic star for my desk that I've always wanted.
"How to make sure no one wants to go to lunch with you" ruling.
And nobody better question the guy who lays out his prayer rug by his desk, or the lady who offers you a pin to stick in her voodoo doll. It’s gonna be awesome at my workplace now. It’s gonna be epic to watch. Too bad I hate the smell of sage.
I mean this is really stupid. But it also has the potential to be a malicious compliance goldmine
Protect tip. Just substitute the word superstition wherever the word religion appears to get a more accurate understanding of what's being said.
TRUMP TIED A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL TO A BED AND RAPED HER AT EPSTIEN NY APARTMENT. PRETENDING RAPE CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN CERTAIN PLACES IS FOOLISH. BONDI & THE GRAND OL PEDO PARTY LIKE COVERING UP DON THE CON’S ILLEGAL CRIMES. AUG 2-RAGE AGAINST THE REGIME @indivisible.org @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
I have some things to discuss. On Wednesday we celebrate Oden, our highest and most exalted ruler. On Thursday, we celebrate Tor, the ruler of the heavens. Friday is Free day so I won’t be coming to work. Saturday is lögaredagen, the day for bathing and sauna. (No work) So that works for everybody?
A couple honest questions: Didn’t know it was prohibited behavior. Lots of ceremonies are led by prayer. What was the policy prohibiting prayer. And Who determines when a what behavior is undermining mission.
Cool. The Satanic Temple was once denied the opportunity to open a Scottsdale Arizona City Council meeting with prayer as other religions were routinely allowed to do. They sued for religious discrimination and won.
I’m just waiting for a migrant camp to spring up on Trumps new golf course in Scotland 🤣🤣
They lost that case, and the appeal, in somewhat embarrassing fashion, actually. the.satanic.wiki/index.php/Th... (The Satanic Temple is very bad at court cases.)
After all the controversy, I thought they were granted the slot but seems several Council members pitched a fit so in an emergency meeting they “changed the way the council holds its meeting prayers. Ultimately, the city opted to do away with invocations in favor of a moment of silence.”
That’s Phoenix, not Scottsdale; Phoenix brought theirs back shortly after, just more restricted (limited to chaplains). www.azcentral.com/story/news/l... Sometimes you fight a losing battle, and that’s just the way it goes. But TST runs a grift they know they can’t fulfill, and lose repeatedly.
Look, the more you learn about these guys, the worse it gets. “Scientology for mall goths” is not a fun lil’ joke. You do not want to side with these guys just because people you hate hate them.
Oh, if you are talking about the two guys who own TST I’m not at all siding with them. Never heard of them until just now reading your timeline. My point about all of this was strictly about the Government discriminating against religions they don’t like or agree with.
Absolutely. But also, their track record is what it is, not what their advertising has misled people into thinking it is.
Hallelujah! NOT! What was that thing I learned in elementary school about separation of church and state? Perhaps I misunderstood.
Separation of church and state has been a delusion in the US for as long as presidents have been saying "God bless America" every chance they get. The sad part is how many Americans have believed it was real.
YOU DID NOT MISUNDERSTAND!
Are the ammosexuals descending on DC to defend us from tyranny as we speak?
Bad topics to promote at work - politics and religion. How is this supposed to work? A Christian - Doesn’t want MAGA brand Christianity. If not Christian, do employees get to promote non-Christian religions?
All hail... S A T A N !
Will that be all religions?
Time to start pushing the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster at work. May his noodlely appendages bless you.
Unconstitutional it smells
Go to hell?
So, screw the constitution. Federal workers that would do that shouldn’t be federal workers.
As long as proselytizers can’t complain to HR when I tell them that their god most likely doesn’t exist and that their holy book is a terrible moral guide. Or, alternatively, when I tell them that they most likely elected the Anti-Christ when they voted for Trump.
Speaking in tongues in meetings and water cooler baptisms? I can’t wait to hang my “Ask me about Satan” sign outside my office on Day One.
Since I worship the Sun ...can I bring a sun lamp to work?
Well, THAT’s going to backfire on the weirdo right when all the non-Christians start doing it.
Is this specifically Christian beliefs? Cooooos there’s other religions out there and some of these (so-called) Christians might not be so agreeable when it’s religions being promoted at work that they’ve decided to hate (in Jesus’ name).
The ones that insist on kneeling to pray in the street 5 times a day, to a known paedophile you mean? I agree, but isn’t that what MAGA morons do?
what an opportunity for a Satanist
Is that good for ALL religious beliefs? Because, somehow, I doubt it.
no one is safe from the monsters..
i guess that means muslims will be allowed to pray, too, huh? or only christofascists? satanists, too!
Was this ever disallowed? It’s just tacky but I don’t think it was ever banned
There plenty of examples of people wearing a cross while doing government work (Leavitt, Bondi). If it’s not allowed now, shouldn’t they be fined or suspended?
Project 2025. Trump is not running the government. Clearly. So push those button non-believers. We're one in three. Make that known.
You mean the thing that was already being done before Trump? Ok, sure!
You all realize “promoting” your religion means allowing demoting others as wrong?
Now is your time to shine, Muslims, Wiccans, Satanists, all of y'all!
It's time to introduce the Flying Spaghetti Monster on the workplace then. Ramen!
…as long as it’s a form of Christianity
Great. Now is the time for the Jedi religion to speak up. May the 4th be with you brothers. And the Satanists are going to have one hell of a good time.
Can managers proselytize to those they manage? Seems highly inappropriate. Please attend and become a member of my church, oh, and your yearly evaluation is next month and I heard you might want a promotion/raise? Is allowing public sexual harassment, outright bigotry and racism next?
This is such a slippery slope. Now, can I also speak openly about antitheism and why their religion is a cancer on society? Or is it just the Evangelicals that get to barf their beliefs openly and threaten our jobs if we don't ascribe to their brain-dead beliefs?
Narrow minded people asking others to be open minded so they can become narrow minded later on. Wash, rince, repeat.
OK. Are atheists allowed to promote their views?
How to politicize the federal bureaucracy without choosing a party. Conservative Christian nationalists get hired and promoted; actual Christians and other denominations get harassed and suppressed.
All religions? What about Muslims, or Jewish religions? All religions or a select group? Lots of questions.
"Lots of questions" It's religion, of course there are questions.
No good had ever come from religion
LDS, J Witnesses & Scientologists Voodoo Queens & Kings have at it kids!
Lots of Jedis among federal workers.
Yeah, let's see how long the Trump admin lets that go on when Muslim federal employees start trying to recruit their colleagues.
bsky.app/profile/deni...
Fuck these white bread MAGA Pieces of 💩 !! So it’s ok for them to push their hateful & bigoted religious bullshit on us but it’s not ok for us to say “happy holidays”? Hypocrites!! Fuck you lying, bigoted Christian piles of 💩!!
This means Trump will allow CHRISTIANS to promote their religious beliefs at work. Anyone else will get in trouble. 😑
What are the chances that the minute you promote your non-christian religion you get deported cause "other religions aren't born in 'Merica"
I hope Satanists take them up on this.
Breaking news, to you, apparently: A memorandum does not override the constitution. (Also, everyone was already allowed to pray individually.)
Happy to not be a federal worker.
Because this was a huge deal? We are not all Christians! Separate church and state!
Don’t really care about the last two- decorate your cube however you want and feel free to pray on your break if that’s your thing. But the first? Nah- I don’t want anyone ‘promoting’ their religion to me.
Questions….will it apply to ALL religions & beliefs equally & without prejudice? Would a humanist & atheist be able to display items affirming their non-religious beliefs? Would opting out of all such religious shenanigans impact on one’s career?
too bad that Democrats believe in a liberal theocracy where there is no such thing as freedom.
WICCA and Satanism will be preaching!
"He might be a pedophile, but at least I can have a miniature Nativity display on my desk in my office."
Men redefined morality in fiction — a tale where a mass murderer is cast as inherently good — and used it to control others: to feed, clothe, and glorify themselves; to dominate through preaching and manipulation; to rally mobs, bend leaders, and crush the non-compliant
SNL and South Park are on notice.
I can see it starting office dramas so I'd rather keep it away from the work place.
Uhhh... I'm liberal & I feel this is a terrible idea. I mean I was already annoyed enough when my Christian Friend kept spewing his beliefs when we were out and about. I wanted to enjoy the moment not talk about religion. He got the point afterward Can't see it going well in the work place either.
See how long this works when the prayer mats start showing up. Don't forget the religious chanting.
Another example of complete disregard for the Constitution !!!
We'll see how this goes....
Try it
That country looks more and more like a sect!
Separation of church and state. Apparently he has no clue about it, or why the founding fathers wanted separation of church and state!
Religion in the workplace, the commanders changing their name, saving college sports, etc.. Seriously, who is running the country??
A guy with dementia.
#firejaketapper
Wait till the Wiccans or Muslims start praying at work
Fox “news” when this happens 🙄
Sweet time to convert some Satanists
Will they also allow supervisors to discriminate against people who do not share the supervisor’s religious beliefs?
What an unconstitutional load of garbage.
Glad Daddy said it was OK. Must be done “winning” if this is what he’s focused on now. Can’t wait to see what’s next
But only the “right” religions I am sure. Pretty sure I can’t come to work with a colander on my head and tell my boss that I am a Pastafarian who believes in the Flying Spaghetti Monster www.spaghettimonster.org
🔥🤬🤬🤬🔥
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Let a coworker promote their beliefs to me. Nope.
So much for the separation of church and state. I wonder if they could promote their religion if it is Islamic.
Have you met my dark lord and savior SATAN?
One thing is certain- "Hitler was fulfilling god's will" (Rev Hagee-TX senior evangelical pastor & Israel ally & tour guide) "God always has a plan" (TX AG Paxton response to Uvalde grade school mass shootings) trump is 100% courtesy of white evangelical christians slate.com/news-and-pol...
That made me laugh out loud
Okay Satanists, this is your chance to shine!
There’s got to be someone from the satanic temple working for the government
So would that also include workers that believe in praying and promoting the beliefs they believe that that the president should be be killed or harmed? Goes both ways in religious beliefs.
Also, feel free to discrimate & professionally retaliate against those who don't participate in your self-righteous religious fantasies. The only way to get through to people not like you is to hate 'em. 🇺🇸
They always think this is a great idea until they suddenly discover that not everyone is a Christian.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing good news for a change.
Are the people who tell these assholes playing preacher to “fuck off” protected as well?
