What? Sikhs aren't Christian?
What? Sikhs aren't Muslim?
What? Sikhs aren't Buddhist?
Either faith leaders from all faiths get to lead prayer, or none do, Ms. Miller. Stop being such a religious bigot.
I'd like to read the christo-fascist version of the first amendment, since it's no where near our constitution's version ...
whenever I see some fucking thumper moron claiming america is a xtian nation, my first thought is of their church burning ...
It appears Rep Miller is jealous of the attention paid to MTG, AOC, Boebert, etc.
One issue here is the idea that only Christians should be allowed to openly pray in government buildings.
The other issue is aggressive ignorance. If you dont know what a Sikh is or how they dress, keep your mouth closed.
Gee, couldn't find that post on Rep. Mary Miller's account timeline.[✘]
nice try
she deleted her tweet, that is why you couldnt find it

The Hill
Emily Brooks 4-5 minutes 6/6/2025
Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) said it was “deeply disturbing” that a Sikh delivered a prayer in the House chamber on Friday — after apparently mistaking him for a Muslim man.
The since-deleted post Friday morning sparked immediate bipartisan criticism.
“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should never have been allowed to happen,” Miller said on the social platform X. “America was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth, not drift further from it. May God have mercy!”
She attached a photo of the guest chaplain, who was wearing a yellow turban, leading the customary prayer that occurs every day at the opening of the House floor.
But the guest chaplain was not a Muslim, but a Sikh: Giani Surinder Singh, of Gurdwara South Jersey Sikh Society in Vineland, N.J. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who opened the floor, introduced the guest chaplain.
Miller later edited her post on X to replace “Muslim” with “Sikh” before deleting the post altogether. Her office did not respond to a request for comment about the incident.
The House has long welcomed guest chaplains from many types of faiths — including Muslims, with a Muslim guest chaplain notably reading from the Quran in November 2001 following the 9/11 terror attacks.
Members of Congress regularly invite guest chaplains to deliver prayers
Miller’s post sparked bipartisan condemnation.
Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) said on X he was “troubled” by the post. “Throughout the country—and in the Central Valley— Sikh-Americans are valued and respected members of our communities, yet they continue to face harassment and discrimination.”
“While yes, we are a nation rooted in Judeo-Christian values and our laws reflect that, we are also a nation that recognizes we are all God’s children and whatever our differences, we can and should respect differences of faith,” added Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) in another post commenting on Miller’s post.
Democrats, meanwhile, went much further in their criticism.
“Our country was founded on the Constitution – which happens to care enough about freedom of religion that it’s in the very first amendment,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said in a post responding to Miller. “Not only is this racist, it dishonors the ‘founding document’ you referenced.”
Singh, during his prayer, had called for peace.
“Almighty God …. we call you by many names, sir. But you are one. Keep your divine hand over the members of this House. … Keep truth on our tongues, sir, love in our hearts, and sound judgment in our minds. Remind us, sir, of our purpose: To love and serve one another and create a more peaceful world. We ask you for blessings unto all leaders, sir, and their work for the common good. Give all who govern this land humility and courage, integrity and compassion,” Singh said. “Help us remember that we belong to one family.”
“We ask for the almighty also to keep watch over our nation’s protectors who work tirelessly day and night to ensure our safety and our freedom,” Singh added.
Howard Mortman, author of the book “When Rabbis bless Congress” documenting the history of Rabbis offering such prayers, explained that diverse faith leaders have long prayed before Congress.
“Historically, inviting guest chaplains to open House and Senate sessions in prayer allows Congress to showcase the diversity of religions in America. It shows that we live in a multi-faith society — with no established state religion. Many different religions have been represented by clergymembers praying in Congress. Hundreds of rabbis, for instance — going back to 1860.”

So, Miller (or whoever might have posted something) pulled Democrats chain and they fell for it? Still doesn't explain why the last sentence is chopped off with a 'see more' click. That still looks phishy. I wouldn't click that link. Would you?
All we have is an image posted by a California Democrat trying to stir up phony outrage. Business-as-usual. Are Democrats really that easy to fake out? Asking for a friend.
you are a trip.
Miller said this, and tweeted it, and deleted it when her tweet got criticized.
you lose on this one, but for some strange reason you doubled down
Utter moron. Back to history 101 for her.
The Founding Fathers, Deism, and Christianity
Even christians cannot decide who the "1 true god" actually is and which 1 to worship.
There are over 45,000 different Christian denominations worldwide .
Then of course if we became a christian country, an Iraq of christianity, it would change many if not most of our laws.
Slavery - Yup, it's baaack!
Rape - Allowed since women are 2nd class citizens.
Abortion - Allowed if the husband claims unfaithfulness.
Genocide - Any country that is not your version of christianity is toast. (basically every other country)
Murder - Yup. Stone everyone including your children if they misbehave.
War - Of course, killing everyone of any nation that does not worship your god. But you get to save the young virginal girls for yourself .
Human sacrifice - For when you need absolved of your sins. Burning them for extra points because god loves the smell of smoked meat (who doesn't?).
Child Abuse - This'll teach them not to listen to you!
