Oh my gosh, I know that one.

You know, you've brought up so many different examples, Gabriel, of how scripture has been used throughout history to justify certain political actions.

But I wonder if there are any specific examples of the U.S.

government using scripture in support of their actions or agenda.

Jason, is that something that has come up in your reporting?

You know, one of the things that's been kind of on my mind about this really prominently is like, technically, technically,

America is a secular nation.

In 1983, did Ronald Reagan declare it the year of the Bible?

Yes.

But technically, America is a secular nation.

So I wonder, why is the government leaning into religion in its messaging?

I wonder, though, why do you think then the government is leaning so hard into religion in its messaging?

Okay, this last question is going to shake the table a little bit.

I'm wondering, oftentimes when Americans see other countries' governments using scripture or religious messaging to enforce policy, we don't like that.

America tends to get up in arms.

So I want to know, why is America so quick to criticize when other governments use this approach, even when America has this same approach, this same tactic of using religious messaging to govern in its arsenal?

My gosh.

I really appreciate being able to have this conversation with the two of you.

Jason, Gabriel, thank you both so much.

You're welcome.
