U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Says Trump’s Policies are Biblical and Uses Office to Promote Faith

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has publicly stated that she is using her federal position to advance an explicitly Christian mission, while also revealing that the Trump administration’s America First Policies are biblical and are bringing light to a dark world.

In a September 16 interview on Trinity Broadcasting Network⁠, Rollins discussed faith inside the administration and described biblical principles as foundational to its political program. She said the administration’s officials are “a group of warriors” who gather weekly for Cabinet Bible study to remind themselves what they are fighting for.

Rollins also described the policies she helped develop through the America First Policy Institute as grounded in the word of God, arguing that policies involving the border, education, health care, farmers, and ranchers can be understood biblically.

It is one thing for a cabinet secretary to be a Christian, pray, voluntarily participate in Bible studies, or explain how faith influences her personal decisions. However, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Rollins went further by stating that she uses the platform of her federal office to “make disciples of all nations.” We have a sitting cabinet secretary publicly declaring that she uses government authority to promote Christianity. This reveals that the current administration has adopted Evangelicalism as federal policy.

This type of union between Church and State is precisely the reason why religious freedom is important. Religion is being mixed with governmental authority. In this context, Sunday legislation becomes possible whenever the State goes beyond protecting religious freedom and begins to mandate religious observance. When Christianity and governmental power become increasingly identified with one another, the constitutional barrier against the establishment of an official religion is eliminated.
