According to Fox News Digital, the State Dept. is refusing to disclose to House Republicans which foreign atheist organizations have received funding from the US government.
Republican sources with knowledge of the situation told the publication that Mariah Mercer of the State Dept.’s Office of International Religious Freedom refused to reveal which atheist organizations are receiving funding abroad, claiming “security concerns.”
“The sources said that the grants give more money to atheists than to non-atheists, and that most of the money goes to people and groups in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, which are all mostly Muslim,” the report said.
The most recent report was released months after House Republicans wrote to the State Department to inquire about Antony Blinken, the secretary of state, regarding a plan to give grants of up to $500,000 in taxpayer money to “organizations devoted to the propagation and practice of atheism and humanism, particularly in Central/South Asia and the Middle East/North Africa.”
The State Department, according to sources, has been “stonewalling” them regarding the grant program for six months, claiming that they are “working on it” when requested to construct a list of nations to whom the award money is being distributed to.
In addition, the report claims that when questioned about the awards themselves, State Department officials “cited security concerns” and “refused to reveal how they measured success in the program. The agency assured legislators and employees that the funds are intended to defend the religious liberties of atheists in other nations, but they still haven’t indicated who will receive the money after six months.”
When Republicans take control of the House in 2023, they plan to use their oversight authority to subpoena the State Department for the information.
The call was arranged by Republican Study Committee chairman Jim Banks, who told Fox News Digital that “6 months and many letters later, the Biden State Department is still suppressing fundamental facts concerning their support of atheism overseas.”
“They are well aware that the specifics will enrage American taxpayers, and they are concerned that they would expose the program as unlawful,” Republican Study Committee (RSC) Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) stated. “Congress handed them this money, but we’re evidently not permitted to know which nations are receiving it—it’s absurd.”
“In just a few weeks, Republicans will reclaim the majority, and we must use the mandatory process to force the Biden State Department to produce this evidence,” he concluded.
That’s only because God is is more powerful than he thinks he is.
Biden is an evil person and has the worse ethics of anyone that has ever held public office. People should vote for someone that has America’s best interest and not the devils as Biden does. He is evil and he represents evil to the max. People wake up and remove this man and his family from anything that is America.
You also have to realize he’s a brainless dummy and someone is pulling his puppet strings. I vote obama, who I think is more evil than biden. He’s just hiding in the background acting all innocent.
ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED DEMOCRATS WILL WIN THROUGH UNFAIR MEANS
Impeach the Illegitimate presidency and administration of biden and harris for Treason and Sedition against the American People and the Constitution
Take Biden out w/ the 25th amendment, Impeach harris and – well i used to say Pelosi but now who; Schill, Nadler, Schumer???? These folk blur, in that their badness is constant and anti-American, they are ruining this country!
Yes they are evil. Get them out of office and make to pay restitution. I to believe Biden is a puppet under someone else’s control. Vote, vote, vote —– the Bible tells us to pray for our leaders –America return to God, pray for the leaders in all government positions — national, state, county and cities. Dear heavenly Father I humbly ask for your Mercy and grace and intervention for the leaders of the country. Save ANY that are lost. Our country needs you now. Forgive the sins and heal our lands. Prepare for time is short Jesus is about to return for the Bride of Christ, those that have been saved by the blood of Jesus. Just ask for forgiveness of sin and accept HIM as your Lord and SAVIOR.
I agree with all the comments already submitted.
I do not think Biden is a bad man. Just taking orders from his wife.
I do not think Biden is evil. He just has to do as Harris tells him to do. I feel sorry that he gets the blame for all the wrongs.
!And, when is your appointment to see your physician because you really need to see him, However, at this point in your life it is really too late. It would seem that an average human with a God given brain would actually use it and not waste it!
I assume you are joking. It might seem impossible but I believe Harris is even dumber than Biden. She made her way to the top via mattress. The whole scenario, the cackler and the blabber as leaders of our beloved country is depressing. It won’t end well. And no, Harris is not Biden’s puppeteer, Obama is.
You and other confused idiots should not vote as uneducated as you seem to be! This is the modern day democrat-pedocrat party, they groom babies, they murdered over 63,000,000 American babies in less than 50 years, bliden is a war criminal, he had 10 babies in what he calls a righteous hit murdered,I could compare bliden and all democrats to Hitler, only Hitler didn’t kill as many as the democrats! Period
BIDEN, BUSH, OBAMA, CLINTONS, AND THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL AND DESTROYING AMERICA
Biden and the entire Democratic party are evil. destroying America deliberately.
I have replied two times and neither one published.
After what you have already published, we all know already, your bias opinion already is. You think bliden Is not bad, well you think removing the 1rst amendment rights to over 1/2 of Americans for several years is in your feeble mind is not that bad.you will make a great communist comrade, for all the communist pedocrats!
Biden is a man who has no soul. His brothers and sister are not much better. I would love to know more about his parents and his upbringing. He has no moral compass. Money, money money! That’s his god. And because of his basic stupidity he takes great pleasure in all of his unmerited gains. He’s like a little rascally kid taking pleasure out of his ability to get away with his bad behavior. How did this man ever happen to us? I fear he will be our undoing.
Funny! Atheists have NO RELIGION!! Therefore, they should get NOTHING!!! And unless our government can support and help churches/mosques/temples in the US (who also do great things in our communities), they have NO BUSINESS funding anyone else’s “religious” (laughable) organizations. Especially those who believe in NO GOD!!
Biden taking orders from his wife? What wife? He’s divorced! Biden is taking orders from Obama, Pelosi, and all the other Communists/pro-communists in the Democrat party. He’s also taking orders from China. He’s somehow beholden to them. That’s where his money comes from aside from what he steals from the American people. He will keep spending and giving money to our enemies until he bleeds our country dry. We can’t seem to stop him because his party has control of the media, big business, etc. They seem to own the whole country. Pray for our country.
Biden is the worst possible person to be America’s president!
But thats just what happened!!!!
One can jonly hope that Biden is not going to be pres. in the next election!!!!

How can he call himself a Christian?? What a sad, pathetic man
Biden is no Christian, he is without a doubt a disciple of Satan. He has the unmitigated nerve to attend Holy Mass and receive Communion and does everything he can to destroy Christianity, and anyone or thing that gets in his way. His objective appears to be the total destruction of this nation and its people. He thinks he and his family are above the law, in fact he is so enamored with himself, he actually believes he is god. (small g on purpose), and everyone has to bow done to him and his family. Time to remove him from office and all of his cohorts along with him and send them to prison for treason.
