In a speech at the Museum of the Bible, President Trump reaffirmed the importance of faith in the identity of the United States. He introduced the America Prays initiative, encouraging Americans to join in prayer for the nation’s strength, peace, and prosperity as the country approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This initiative has received support from over 70 faith organizations and aims to promote community transformation through collective prayer.

During his address, President Trump highlighted the administration’s commitment to defending religious freedoms and announced upcoming guidance from the Department of Education intended to protect the right to pray in public schools. He emphasized that faith is vital to national strength and identity, insisting that America has always recognized the power of prayer and will continue to uphold its religious values. He also addressed concerns about educational content that may conflict with certain religious beliefs, referencing a specific case involving a California student.

In addition to promoting the America Prays initiative, President Trump criticized a Democratic senator for questioning the notion that rights are endowed by a Creator, framing this as a fundamental aspect of American identity. The speech called for unity among Americans through faith and prayer, underscoring the administration’s role in protecting religious liberties and fostering a collective national spirit as the nation prepares for its significant anniversary celebration.
