YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Under the second Trump administration, the line separating church and state is rapidly dissolving. The Pentagon, under Pete Hegseth’s leadership, has now removed 180 faiths from its list of recognized religions, with 22 Christian denominations remaining in place. This comes as Republican states continue to impose religious teachings in classrooms including the Ten Commandments. Journalist Katherine Stewart joins The Weekend: Primetime to discuss this alarming development.
