We're calling on @schumer.senate.gov to retract his fabricated statements, correct the record wherever they appear, and apologize. Our country — and our history — is under attack and he's enabling it. It's outrageous and we should be demanding better.

In the wake of Donald Trump and his Christian Nationalist acolytes hijacking America 250 in an attempt to justify their exclusionary attacks on huge swaths of Americans, why is Chuck Schumer sharing fabricated quotes that sound like the sort of thing fake "historian" David Barton would make up?

Why is Chuck Schumer fabricating quotes by the Founders? Why is he carrying water for the White Christian Nationalist movement's attempts to paint America as a Christian nation? We call on him to retract these fabricated statements, correct the record, and apologize. Sign the petition NOW!

Chuck Schumer has spent more than 20 years claiming the Founding Fathers called America "God's noble experiment." There's no evidence any of them ever said that. Why does he keep lying about it? www.friendlyatheist.com/p/chuck-schu...

Chuck Schumer's favorite Founding Fathers quote is completely made up

Historians can't find references to "God's Noble Experiment." The Founders never said it. Yet Schumer keeps insisting they did.

Jonathan lays out Schumer's outrageous fabrications here — and adds new details. They edited his Fourth of July post to remove the claim that the founders (unspecified, and apparently all at once?) uttered this sentiment as they left "Constitution [sic] Hall." Yikes.

EXCLUSIVE: On July 4, the same day Republicans peddled lies about God and American history… …so did Chuck Schumer. I even found a Facebook post they edited…without removing the key falsehood.

Adam Keiper, executive editor at @thebulwark.com, found exactly one historical example of the phrase "God's noble experiment" being used: a book review from 1939. The only other times this phrase has *ever* been uttered? Statements from Chuck Schumer, starting in 2003 in Congress.

Independent journalist @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social found that Schumer's staff edited a Facebook post to remove an additional fabricated element: the claim that as the founders left "Constitution [sic] Hall," they called America God’s noble experiment. But the core lie remained and was repeated.

Our president, @nickfish.me, was among the first to raise concerns about Schumer's claim. Joanne Freeman, a professor of history at Yale and expert on early American politics, was even more clear.

In an admittedly cursory search, literally the only references I can find to the Founders calling America "god's noble experiment" are from... Chuck Schumer speeches. Why is the Senate Democratic Leader carrying water for a right wing Christian lie? And apparently fabricating quotes to do it?

We already knew Donald Trump's Christian Nationalist speechwriters have never read the Constitution, so why would the Declaration be any different?

In the spirit of "trying to make ourselves better," there's still time to delete this and post another version — one that doesn't buy into the divisive, ahistoric, revisionist "history" of the Christian Nationalist movement.

Choosing to quote Leviticus for ANYTHING, let alone to support the principle of liberty, over the plain language of the Constitution or the writings of the founders, is deeply disturbing and a clear expression of the White Christian Nationalism taking over our government.

We're relieved at the outcome of today's birthright citizenship decision, but the fact that there were 4 votes to ignore the plain language of the Constitution is appalling. The White Christian Nationalist movement will keep coming for our rights and we have to act to stop them.

This is America. We will fight to protect your right to believe whatever you want, even if we think it's a little silly. Because unlike the White Christian Nationalist movement, we actually care about freedom of conscience and belief. They only care about dominance and Christian supremacy.

The only people seemingly trying to close churches are the corrupt, hypocritical leaders of the White Christian Nationalist movement. Alienating and grifting their members by covering up child abuse, excusing and encouraging masked thugs to rip families apart, and lining their own pockets.

Great op-ed from @cflfreethought.bsky.social's David Williamson "Secularism isn’t the enemy of religion; it is what prevents government from choosing one faith over another. It is a foundational principle of the American experiment, woven into the First Amendment’s protection of religious liberty."

As with most things this administration does on questions of religion, we're forced to assume the worst. Why keep "agnostic" but not the others? Is it because they want to send a signal to Christian Nationalist chaplains about who they should target for unconstitutional proselytizing?

0161

They say their job "is not to adjudicate theological debates" but Pentagon leadership have repeatedly denigrated and attacked atheists and humanists. Their decision to include "agnostic" as a faith code, but not "atheist" or "humanist" — while also having "No Religion" — is bizarre.
