"U.S. Foreign Policy Takes a Faith-Based Turn: Secretary of State Marco Rubio's Departure from Neutrality. In a move sparking controversy, the State Department, now led by Secretary Marco Rubio, has been accused of promoting a distinctly Christian agenda through its official social media channels. Following Rubio's appointment, the department's Instagram account has selectively highlighted Christian and Jewish holidays, raising concerns about the blurring of church and state. Critics argue that this shift not only undermines the department's long-standing commitment to neutrality but also risks alienating non-Christian communities and compromising the U.S. government's role as a neutral arbiter on the world stage. As the State Department's rebranding continues to draw scrutiny, questions arise about the implications of this new approach on U.S. foreign policy and global diplomacy."
Since Rubio became secretary of state, the department has only marked Christian and Jewish holidays on its Instagram while boosting clear religious messaging. The post Marco Rubio Is Rebranding the State Department as Explicitly Christian appeared first on The Intercept.
