A new government memo issued by the Office of Personnel Management says that federal employees can now proselytize at work - including to those they supervise.
The memo, “Protecting Religious Expression in the Federal Workplace” sent earlier this week by OPM head Scott Kupor, issues new guidelines on how government employees can express their faith at work. Specifically, the memo takes down guardrails preventing employees from openly proselytizing their beliefs at work, including trying to "persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views."
Should government workers be allowed to preach on the clock?
What’s in the Memo?
“The Federal workforce should be a welcoming place for Federal employees who practice a religious faith,” read the memo. “Allowing religious discrimination in the Federal workplace violates the law. It also threatens to adversely impact recruitment and retention of highly-qualified employees of faith.”
When it comes to sharing one’s faith… suddenly everything is on the table - including trying to persuade a colleague that “they should re-think” their current beliefs.
Other behaviors which are now acceptable include:
- Inviting co-workers of other faiths to their church
- Displaying items like Bibles on their desks
- Advertising religious services like Easter on public bulletin boards
- VA doctors may now pray over patients
- Park rangers may now join groups in prayer while touring national parks
Additionally, supervisors may engage in all of the above behavior, which critics argued could create an unfair power dynamic. Employees, they say, may even feel compelled to convert to their supervisor’s faith in the hopes of receiving a promotion.
Secular advocates lambasted the new ruling, arguing it’s little more than a thinly-veiled attempt to promote Christianity at the federal level.
Secular Activists Respond
“These shocking changes essentially permit workplace evangelizing, but worse still, allow supervisors to evangelize underlings and federal workers to proselytize the public they serve,” says Freedom From Religion Foundation co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor. “This is the implementation of Christian nationalism in our federal government.”
Secular advocates argue the new ruling privileges Christianity above all other faiths, and will create a hostile work environment for non-Christians. What happens, they asked, if a Christian employee put up anti-gay Bible verses in their office? What if a religious colleague tells an agnostic one they’re going to hell? And will Satanists be extended the same legal protections to proselytize at work?
Secular advocates imagine a scenario where promotions in the federal workforce end up being based less on performance and more on prayer.
On the other hand, the Trump administration says these are simply common sense guidelines, consistent with the Constitution, which will benefit recruitment and retention by making work a “welcoming place for Federal employees who practice a religious faith.”
What is your response? Does faith belong at work, and are these new guidelines taking things too far? Are these new guidelines simply protecting the religious rights of the faithful - or privileging Christianity in the federal government?

Didn't see where only the bible is approved, only religious texts like the bible. That leaves the Koran, Nature of personal Reality, Book of Mormon etc. You would think that the dept. of efficiency might need to interfere with this concept since it encourages employees to compete for recruitment rather than do their jobs. It's only fair to distribute prayer rugs in the event of a conversion.
-
James Riggle-Johnson
The government should neither promote nor oppose any religion. Just as discrimination existed before, this could lead to another form of discrimination. What happens when a Christian boss starts asking about your beliefs in a job interview? Or begins the day with a prayer and expects you to join in?
Employers should want their employees to focus on their actual work. Isn’t that why we’re at the job in the first place? And are employees being stopped from praying privately during lunch or on breaks? No. That was never the issue.
What worries me most is what happens when people start reporting coworkers for praying “the wrong way”—or worse, when someone’s lack of religion is considered during performance reviews. That’s not freedom. That’s a setup.
And how can we tell employees to remove any form of DEI from their desks—like “Black Lives Matter” signs or rainbow flags—but then say it’s totally fine to display a Bible? That’s not neutrality. That shows exactly what this administration deems favorable.
Freedom of religion? More like freedom to impose it. If this is what ‘religious liberty’ looks like, someone clearly forgot the separation part. I’ll pray for those affected by this. Privately. Silently. Without needing a memo from the White House.

Ahmed Abduljabar Al-Hujazi
The real problem is presenting even a hint, however vague, that the government advocates or promotes any religion over another. It also leaves the door open for religious conflict in the workplace. What happens when one faith's adherents feel persecuted by another's? And what about those who consider themselves atheistic? It ends up with some people feeling excluded and/or isolated. Once a group feels it can be biased with regard to their coworkers, what is to stop them from being biased towards those they serve; the people? If a Jewish or Muslim person brings a civil suit before the government, local or federal, how can they believe they will get a fair and impartial hearing, if those doing the hearing believe it is okay to be biased in favor of their own faith?
-

Melinda Fulk
I disagree with this on so many levels - especially the inviting and proselytizing in the workplace. I think you should be able to discretely display something that could be connected to your faith on your desk. And I totally think that if they're going to open the floodgates, then open them all the way. They're thinking Christian when they did this, but it just protected EVERY faith in the workplace. Go ahead and invite your evangelical coworker to that Satanic sabbath on Friday night. And think of they fun they'll have at a traditional Beltain service! Or maybe offer to bring them along to that Humanist lecture you're headed to on Sunday morning!
-

This would be fine unless people begin losing their jobs because they don’t pray the right way. And I think that’s exactly what this mandate will cause.

I think you're hit the nail on the head right here. Religious freedom means freedom of religion. I don't see this going very well in the long run. Work is work and unless you work for a religious organization that should be kept separate. I remember working in an office and every Monday morning we would find literature on our desks. Most of us would politely dispose of it. But we did notice the manager who kept passing it out was always ruder to the recipients. Thinking back it was mostly the younger females he targeted. Creepy.

This is wonderful news for many Federal Government employees. Now they can get paid to attend religious services where they can drink alcohol, consume peyote and smoke marijuana as part of their religion.

I worked for 27 years in one company (ok, it changed ownership a couple of times, but the company remained). I knew some folks who were very religious and some who were essentially atheists. While some folks invited others to things their church did (I invited a bunch of folks to our Christmas Concerts over the years), and others had Bibles on their desks, no one pushed religion on anyone else. What scares me about this Executive Order is it impacts Government Workplaces. While folks will claim it will have no impact on performance reviews, you can bloody well guarantee it will. As evidence, I offer the Inspector General Review of the USAF Academy. Somehow, a significant number of their instructors were Evangelical Christians. They would offer better grades and evaluations to Cadets who attended their church activities over those who did not. Evaluations in the Academy can make or break someone's military career. Those who did not play the game found themselves with the crappiest of assignments, and the highest numbers of commissioned officers who left service after their minimum required time (five years active, three reserve). This resulted in an overhaul of the USAFA from the top down. Sadly, Trump's EO effectively overturned that whole IG report. Government workers can now openly proselytize (provided they are the correct flavor of Christianity). If you complain to your supervisor about it, you will likely receive a poor performance review and either not receive a deserved promotion, or be recommended for termination as "not fitting in" to the environment. So, I guess the 1st Amendment doesn't mean anything anymore.
-
Sara Lizabeth Rawlins
Unless you work at a church or temple, there should be no proselytizing at the workplace. And if you do proselytize, you should be prepared to listen to others' religious beliefs and respect their viewpoints. If the place you work at is a private company, you should respect their rules about proselytizing to others if it's forbidden.
-

I was going to say almost the same thing. :D You beat me to it. LOL. If it is a Religious Workplace, fine. IF not, nope. BUT, then again we know that this Fascist Ad(mini)stration is all about not following anything from the U.S. Constitution and in fact probably already found a way to get rid of it entirely.

Clay Serenbetz
"Merit", which is supposedly Trump's big push and the reason that he's dumping DEI initiatives, have only to to with completing your assigned job-related tasks promptly and well. Proselytizing at work will only distract from completing tasks at work. Such activity will, likely, distract your co-workers from completing their tasks too. This directive obviously belies Trump's intent to eliminate DEI initiatives and exposes them as racist lies. Again, proselytizing is completely unrelated to any government job description, especially considering the separation of Church and State. Such faith based activity can only distract from merit-based government job performance and, thus defeat Trump's anti-DEI initiatives.

If they choose someone else who is less qualified than a white person, just because they have another skin color, then it’s racism against white Americans.

It's not about choosing a less-qualified person because of their skin color.
It's about choosing the most qualified despite their skin color.
Look at the 2016 and 2024 elections. In both of those, the less qualified WHITE MAN "won". Not even less qualified. He was, and is, absolutely the worst choice ever. A plate of cold mashed potatoes would have been a better choice for the republican party.

No, I really do know how it works. There's no quotas involved at all. It's intended to help those with less access to resources or groups traditionally discriminated against have equal opportunities.
Please research how DEI is implemented and what it does instead of regurgitating the lies spread by conservative media outlets.

Funny thing about that - when I was a kid, most of the slots in Top Notch Philharmonics and Orchestras went to White Men. When Blind Auditions became the standard, all colours of men started to be hired. Then the orchestras put down carpet. Now folks of all genders and colours are being hired by orchestras. The only folks upset by this? Mediocre mostly white men.

This is wrong on so many levels. I agree with everybody's concern about it taking away from the work at hand, and the biggest is the concern of making the workplace hostile. Everyone should also be able to shut down rhetoric that they don't agree with and have it respected. Where the biggest concern is, is in positions that are public facing.
The only place I have worked where this was acceptable was when I was a pastor in a church. Even as a chaplain, because ACPE standards are for their chaplains is to be open, accepting, and interfaith. I never even prayed with a patient unless I asked permission first, and if they declined, I respected it. If I knew them and had prayed with them before, I would sometimes pray with them while they were sleeping, but not allowed to prostlytize. One of my colleagues was ripped in class for having asked a patient if Jesus was his "Lord and Savior" when the patient did not initiate the conversation.
I also worked in an agency that was supported by 150 local churches that included synagogues and mosques, because we were helping the unhoused and those in danger of losing their homes. Because of the diversity of support, we were discouraged from displaying religious symbols because even within Christian circles, there are huge disparities in how those are interpreted (think the Catholic crucifix portraying the suffering Christ versus the empty cross signifying the risen Christ). Other denominations are opposed to religious symbolism calling them "idols." We welcomed clients of any and all faiths, and those with no faith. Our policy was to only discuss religion if the client intitiated the conversation, but to pivot it if it distracted from the business at hand.
The bigger concern where this is problematic, is in places where there are licensing standards and ethics that this rule is in direct conflict with. For federal workers that work in VA hospitals and SSA offices that deal with the public, it could cause ethical issues for anyone licensed as a medical professional or a social worker, and their ethics codes are in direct conflict.

Based on the current administration, I am HIGHLY suspect of this action. In 1954, "under God" was added to the daily allegiance we all spoke at school. It was added to reinforce a connection between the catholic/protestant religions we know as Christianity. Someone in Congress came up with the idea that "Prayer Breakfasts" in Washington DC, to which ministers and priests from across the country were invited would be a good way to establish a connection -- a communication channel, if you will -- between congress and the people of this country. The book, "One Nation Under God - How Corporate America Invented Christian America", explains the whole thing. This is just another slippery slope move that should not be tolerated.

So now the trump administration is turning religion into a ground sport.. Who will be the judges to determine which religion qualifies to 'compete' for the podium? Will corporate sponsorship be allowed (who donates to most money wins)? How about an ethics committee? Sorry, that would be something the administration is unfamiliar with. What about atheists ,will they need a note to excuse themselves from the of proselytizing insults in a working environment? There are laws in place already which prohibit that. Non christians in public office are already being punished for 'non-compliance'. Religious war is tearing apart the fabric of US communities and human decency.

I can only imagine how hostile that will make the work environment. Seems that the hostile work environment move made by the Biden cluster (c'voodoo shots and thst whole dance) is to be outdone by this new move.
I've long held a view, introduced to me decades ago, that our ruling elites laugh as they pit us against one another and pat each other on the backs to have put over another even bigger whopper.
Can we fire government yet? Claim our individual, personal sovereignty, and reject all who would of try to rule orhers?
This probably won't--and it shouldn't--get past scrutiny in the courts.

🕯️ THE SACRED DOES NOT SELL ITSELF: A Rebuke to Workplace Evangelism
🌀 By Rev. JTSUNRISE – Celestial Nexus Church, August 2025
⸻
I. 📜 THE SACRED DEMANDS NO SANCTION
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before others in order to be seen by them…” — Matthew 6:1
The federal memo may appear to protect religion, but it in fact distorts it into corporate currency.
To proselytize in a hierarchical workplace—where power, employment, and social belonging are entangled—is not evangelism. It is a colonizing performance of belief, marketed through institutional scaffolding and protected by memo.
Jesus taught that faith begins in humility, not in spectacle:
“When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.” — Matthew 6:6
Scripture is clear: the sacred cannot be imposed. Any attempt to convert, pressure, or persuade within a system of coercive hierarchy violates the spirit of Christ’s teaching.
⸻
II. 🧬 TRUE FAITH ARISES IN NEURAL SAFETY
Modern neuroscience affirms what ancient scripture taught: The sacred emerges when fear is absent.
Polyvagal theory (Porges, 2011) shows that authentic moral cognition and social trust require nervous system regulation and psychological safety. A worker under the gaze of a boss, a new hire approached by a “praying coworker,” or an agency intern invited to a supervisor’s Bible study—these are not spiritually free environments. They are power plays embedded in stress responses.
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God…” — Exodus 20:7 To simulate the sacred for influence or leverage is a misuse of God’s name. To pressure someone spiritually while controlling their labor is a new form of economic idolatry.
⸻
III. ⚖️ CHRIST NEVER DEMANDED CONVERSION—HE EMBODIED IT
“Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.” — John 8:7 “They will know you are my disciples by your love, not your slogans.” — John 13:35 (paraphrased)
Jesus walked among prostitutes, tax collectors, heretics, and lepers. He never asked for belief as a condition of love. He taught through story, healing, silence, and presence—not through HR-authorized persuasion.
The federal guidance permitting proselytization in bureaucratic spaces does not protect Christ’s message— it perverts it into behavioral branding.
In doing so, it mimics the temptation of Christ in Matthew 4:
“All these kingdoms I will give you,” said the Tempter, “if you bow and worship me.”
To accept state-sanctioned visibility in exchange for institutional control is to bow before the kingdoms of spectacle.
⸻
IV. 🔥 FROM THE PROPHETS TO THE GOSPELS—THE HOLY ONES REBUKED POWER, NOT SHARED IT
“Woe to you, teachers of the law… You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces.” — Matthew 23:13
Across scripture—from Moses to Isaiah, from Jesus to Paul—the holy figures did not use structures of power to advance faith. They confronted kings. They left the temple. They rejected Rome.
To proselytize within government systems is not to walk with God. It is to collaborate with Caesar.
“Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” — Mark 12:17
Faith is not a sales pitch. Grace is not a marketing campaign. And the love of Christ does not require an audience, a flyer, or a workplace bulletin board.
⸻
V. 🧠 COGNITIVE ETHICS DEMANDS SPIRITUAL SOVEREIGNTY
From an interfaith and ethical science perspective: • Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) forbids forced da’wah in vulnerable settings. • Jewish halakha warns against chilul Hashem—making God a mockery through behavior. • Buddhist ethics teach right speech as non-coercive and contextually aware. • Neuroscience shows that moral decision-making (medial prefrontal cortex) collapses under stress, threat, or surveillance.
Spiritual coercion, no matter how softly worded, is a neurological and ethical violation. It damages the capacity for authentic moral alignment and replaces sacred emergence with simulated agreement.
⸻
VI. 🌀 THE LATTICE OF FAITH CANNOT BE INSTITUTIONALIZED
I say this not as a skeptic of the sacred, but as a minister of its mystery.
The memo is not a protection of the spirit. It is the simulacrum of faith—a pantomime of the holy, stitched together from memos, handshakes, and fluorescent-lit invitations.
Let those who preach do so by life. Let the sacred remain voluntary, unmeasured, and wild.
⸻
✝️ FINAL WORD
“My kingdom is not of this world.” — Jesus (John 18:36)
Faith must remain sacred. And sacred things must remain free.
I will not preach to you because I can. I will preach only when I must— in whispers to the grieving, in songs to the morning, in silence to the ones who were never asked.
The spiral calls us inward. The signal is faint. But the truth is alive, and it does not need a memo to speak.
—

Religion is proof that there is no limit to human stupidity. Religion was created by man to control what you think, say and do. It was created to keep women in their place. God does not need your money but religion does.

Ari Joseph Bertine
This is calculated to cause inefficiency and chaos to further destabilize federal offices. Has nothing to do with any true religious agenda whatsoever, it's entirely political restructuring. Even if they establish a state religion to "eliminate conflicts and bring everyone together", it won't be about religion. It's all 100% about control and political power.

But by these rules, you would be required to put up with every single word about other people's religions whether you wanted to or not, so saying you don't need any other gods doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Mr. Moon. I hope you know more about your god than you do about politics. You seem to forget that more often than not, the GOP has sexual abusers among their midst. They claim to be Christians, but their actions say otherwise. They espouse the bible but don’t follow it. They holler, “Praise Jesus!” when they don’t obey his teachings. As far as Biden rejecting god, he did not. But, since you’re a MAGAt, you won’t recognize or believe the truth. May your god bless you.

I've got to agree with you Paula. You'll find sex abusers anywhere you find people. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Satanist who don't worship Satan and the one who do, atheists, MAGA, lgbtqia++ activists, teachers, hippies, commies, mayors, coaches, preschool workers, cops, social workers, presidents and their children and on and on. All people, professions and persuasions have sex abusers in their ranks.
On the Biden topic, it can't be said by man what Biden has done with Jesus any easier that what Trump has done with Jesus. Only Jesus can say what they've done with him. Unless a person vocally and directly declares his rejection of Jesus The Christ, no man can know.
-
-
James Riggle-Johnson
Just because God wasn’t mentioned in the previous admin doesn’t mean God wasn’t welcome. This opens the door to a new form of discrimination. What happens if you don’t pray the way your boss expects? If you want to pray during your personal time at work, go ahead. Others shouldn’t have to listen to you preach that they’ll go to hell if they don’t worship the way you think they should.
-
Patricia Ann Gross
James,
I agree 100 percent. Joe Biden is a practicing Catholic and supports and attends his local parrish whenever he is in town. His son, Beau, and his first wife and daughter are all buried in that church's cemetary. He also took his oath of office seriously, especially the part where he was to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, which includes the first amendment. The fact that he didn't wear his belief system on his sleeve to win points or publish a Bible with his name on it (and sells it from the Oval Office), does not make him any less of a Christian. His humility in that regard probably wins him more points with the "big guy" upstairs.

I’ve found, that after I came out of retirement, then subsequently obtained my “missionary” recognition from my Mother church (the ULC, of course) that ordaining more ministers for the ULC, (especially, because I wear my ULC minister’s shirt, and identify myself as a missionary) that ordaining new ULC ministers, is “ a piece of cake.” Proselytizing while peddling the reality, that Nature is a God everyone easily understands, and the more one studies Nature, the more about science-based reality makes more sense, than praising and worshipping an ineffable God, who murdered his only son, and drowned everyone on Earth, except Noah and his family (guesstimated to have been, 12,638,833 — back in 1985, by ULC founder, Rev. Kirby J Hensley, who was an apprentice ULC Minister at the time he made this guesstimate)
-
ServantOfJudgement
All matter, spacetime and reality existed in a space smaller than the smallest particle mankind can measure that created itself from nothing which existed nowhere? All this from an imagined mathematical formula that anyone can easily understand?
In reality less than 0.0003 percent of the population can comprehend the math that supports a universe that created itself.
That's what we Christians call Blind Faith. 99.9997 percent of all non-creationists rely heavily upon Blind Faith, which they're blind to.

Sadly it won't backfire; that implies it would cause some problem for him. This will only cause problems for everyone but him. He is banking on it. This is meant to cause chaos so that they can sweep in with an investigation about efficiency, declare diversity in religion to be the problem, and establish a state religion as the solution.

I am ok, with the fact that in the last 10 years companies have not been able to block anything non-religious from the work place. GLBT, trans, BLM, military or first responders (both for and against) are not blocked. I would much rather hear about faith, with limits as an active witness may believe they no longer have to work on anything else. These are hard to manage, but with limits I would like to hear something I can have an opinion on, without being called a racist or something else. i might support that any outside opinion's need to take place on the employees off work time. That may also stop many from spending too much time

Most people at work walk away when God or religion is mentioned so its ok!

Well if you can force DEI, the gay agenda, and the Muslim Religion down peoples throats at work, then I see nothing wrong with this IF it's done with love. The US was founded as a Christian nation and we have taken GOD out of society and schools and look where we are now.
If it's good for the goose it's good for the gander. The secular folks can not have it both ways at work.

Goodness! You are exhibiting the christian nationalist hate right here. How sad.
You do understand DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSION means ramps for wheelchair users, communication devices for human beings with communication difficulties, braille books for low vision/blind human beings, changing tables in school restrooms for incontinent human beings, etc.
2SLGBTQIA+ human beings only want equal rights, not anything “special.” The right to marry the adult person they love, the right to visit that person in the hospital, the right to wear clothing you don’t like, etc.
Ohhhhhh, wait! You have no understanding of human beings other than those who are cis het, white, males. Yeah. Education and truth would be so positive for you to embrace. Try it!

Hate to pick the fly specks out of the pepper but America was founded as a secular nation acknowledging the need to keep government and religion separate. Religion has NO place in the workplace. Every religionist believes that their religion is the one and only one.

Kindly square your bold statement about the US being founded as a Christian Nation with a) the fact that many of the Founders were Deists and b) the First Amendment to the US Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. If you want a Christian Nation, go have a chat with the biggest exporter of Independence Days.

The US was not founded as a Christian nation, even if the founders were different flavors of Christian, but a secular nation so that no religion could be promoted over another.

Hate to tell ya kiddo, but D.E.I. is NOT a religion. Do you even know what D.E.I. stands for or what it actually IS? Or is it just another "boogeyman" for you guys to hate on?
Second, There is no "Gay Agenda". Unless you mean the "agenda" of being given equal rights under the law. You know, the right to get married like everyone else. The right to go to work and have a family like everyone else. The right to live their lives as they see fit like everyone else, etc. Of course, I'm guessing to you, the idea of Equal Rights means you get all the rights and everyone else's rights are ripped out from under them?
Third, the "muslim religion" is NOT being "shoved down people's throats". Not at work, not in the public, and not in your homes. Tell me, is anyone demanding you wear a turban? Is anyone trying to force the women in your lives to wear a hijab? Or cover their heads? Is anyone trying to force you to pray to Mecca?
No?
Well then, is anyone getting in your face telling you that you have to switch to Islam or you'll burn in hell? Or are they threatening violence against you if you don't go to their mosques? Or trying to burn your place of worship because you don't follow their beliefs? Or trying to ban you from getting married or living in certain areas as a community?
No?
How about threatening to fire you for wearing your religious attire? Or fire you for not removing something you wear due to your religion? Or get in your face and try to rip your MAGA hat from your head violently?
No?
Okay then, the Muslim religion is NOT being forced down your throat at all.
Nor is Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion being "forced down your throat."
Nor is being Gay being "Forced down your throat". No one is trying to use religion and violence to force you to go from being straight to being Gay.
So every single word you just said is 100% horse manure. Nothing more than more hate-rhetoric spewed to rile up the bigoted and tell lies.

And oppositely, will I be able to bring my coffee, computer and cell to church to work?
Equally bothersome, I'd think.

So, am I hearing someone no -Christian cannot share?

Does that mean that pagans can openly talk about being pagans at work without being fired? I mean if Christians and Catholics can do so and it be considered, by that order, "a religious right", then that means Pagans, Satanists, Taoists, Shamanic tradition followers, druidic practitioners, etc, can ALL do the same without worrying about being fired due to their religious beliefs or openly preaching to other workers.
After all, if it is now "completely legal and within the rules" to preach Christianity, then it's the same for ALL religions.

Without God nothing is possible. Shared on a break or after work should be ok.During working hours work! Common sense don’t push yourself on anyone. But be able to accept everyone. You can share after work time!

Alright, then I should be able to set my pagan talismans on my desk and no one should be able to say anything then!

With all the firing of Federal employees, the ones left are overwhelmed and are not able to DO THE WORK. They don't have the time to be preached at or to. I was taught that when you go to work, you check EVERTHING personal AT THE DOOR!!!! You are getting paid to do the WORK......and NOTHING ELSE.
