Trump Warns “Godless Communists” Would “Close Your Churches” if They Regain Power
June 29, 2026
President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning, declaring that America must remain “one nation under God” as he cautioned that “Godless communists” threaten the country’s religious heritage and future if they return to power.
Christianity Today reports that the president reflected on the nation’s approaching 250th anniversary Friday while speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C.
While highlighting his administration’s faith-related initiatives and urging supporters to remain politically active ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, Trump repeatedly credited Christianity with shaping the nation’s history and identity.
“Our founders invoked the Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence,” Trump said.
The president added, “Faith pushed the pioneers to journey west. Faith led Americans to abolish slavery and faith built this country into the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.”
Referring to last month’s Rededicate 250 gathering on the National Mall, Trump said the event reaffirmed America’s religious heritage.
Trump said, “That’s why, as we prepared to enter the 250th year last month, tens of thousands of patriots came together on our National Mall and we officially rededicated America as one nation under God. We always have been and we always will.”
According to Christianity Daily, the president also pointed to a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening protections for people of faith, including the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty, the White House Faith Office and the White House Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.
During his remarks, the president repeatedly described Democrats as “Godless communists.”
“All communists are Godless,” Trump explained. “These ruthless communists will attack all religions, but in particular Christianity,” he said. “They’re after Christianity more than any other religion.”
Trump warned that if Democrats regain control of government, “They will close your churches in this country. They want to end religion. They have to end religion because their ideology doesn’t work.”
