Maddow Blog-Why Pete Hegseth leading a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon is so problematic

4. As Rachel Maddow points out, Hegseth is a government employee, holding a religious service in a govt. building.

He brings in a minister from his home church, and plans to make it a regular thing.
That's fine if he uses a local church or public meeting place, but the Pentagon is a government building, and it is not OK to hold a religious service there, especially on a regular basis.
That is what the separation of Church and State is all about.
Render to God the thing's that are God's, and render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's.

He knows this, and is doing it as an in-your-face challenge. He knows nobody in the Trump administration is going to challenge this, so he's not going to get any flak for it.
From the words that minister spoke, he doesn't seem to have a good understanding of the teachings of Jesus.
I don't see any way that Trump brings stability and moral clarity to anything. His method of rule is through threats, fear mongering, and chaos.
