Trump advanced religious nationalist policies to pander to his base, many of which actually had a significant, harmful impact on religious communities. For example, he advanced a distorted interpretation of religious freedom that actually enabled discrimination against religious minorities, LGBTQ people and people seeking access to reproductive health care.

Thursday morning’s National Prayer Service, which Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris attended virtually, featured a powerful homily by the Rev. Dr. William Barber II.

Rabbi Sharon Brous, senior rabbi of IKAR, a Jewish community in Los Angeles, and a renowned spiritual leader of social justice movements, shared a prayer during Thursday’s service for a “theology of radical equality” and a “new America, built on love, rooted in justice and propelled by our moral imagination.”
