This is the CNN headline:

Trump has chipped away at the long-standing wall between church and state. It’s just the beginning

But in truth the greatest threat to the separation between church and state is coming at the state level where states have been codifying antisemitic laws against Christians who don’t believe a bunch of European Communist Atheist pretending to be Jews should continue be given special treatment just because they pretend to be Jewish. Those laws in fact are illegally attempting to establish a new religion at expense of both real Christians and real Jews who understand what Israel really is.

And to be clear, if you look at a huge group of people, say at a concert, you can not tell what religion any of those people are which make the antisemitic laws that much more nonsensical.

But back to article…

But then, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s advisory board opened its proceedings in an unusual way: with a Christian prayer.

The benediction was delivered by a White House official. “Thank you for your son, Jesus, who died for our sins,” the official said at one point, according to two sources who attended the meeting.

That is one meeting.  Nothing is codified.  There is no law that says meetings have to open that way or that everyone at the meeting has to believe the prayer.  It doesn’t hurt anyone.  It doesn’t have people arrested.  However, CNN, no doubt, maybe there is doubt, maybe I am wrong, would like people who open with a prayer to be fired or worse.  That would hurt people.  That would be the persecution of Christians.  So basically CNN has things a little turned upside down, if I am right.

From article:

The changes — predominately Christian in character — have been welcomed by conservative organizations that have fought for decades against an increasingly secular government, while alarming longtime defenders of a separation between church and state. 

Ok, that part of the article is smartly written by trying to enforce the notion that Christians are mostly conservative without coming out and saying it.  But the truth is that Christians are not overwhelmingly conservative and many Christian Preachers have come out against Trump.  He has been criticized by Preachers while he is seated among the congregation.

Later in the article they state that the agenda has in fact been pushed by interfaith leaders who include both Jewish and Muslim leaders.

To be clear I am not a huge fan of the interfaith community because I think the movement has been a corrupting force on all religions.  And I kind of agree opening government meetings with prayers is kind of asinine and in some ways is a mockery of religion which belongs in church and not your place of employment.

But is Trump breaking down the separation between church and state?  Not really.  The question really is, is CNN, by attempting to create an issue, a debate, actually the one trying to break down the separation of church state with their propaganda.  Because their response to what Trump is doing would be to actually hurt people because of their religion.  And the article has a clear bias against Christians.
