April 26, 2024 MRFF President/Founder Mikey Weinstein and MRFF have a long history of responding to the blatantly unconstitutional activities surrounding the naked hijacking of the public National Day of Prayer (NDP) by the private NDP Task Force.  While the NDP is ostensibly a national ‘call-to-prayer’ and publicly ‘sold’ as an inclusive non-sectarian call to national prayer, the NDP Task Force’s clear sectarian Christian Nationalist mission for the NDP is provided on their website (https://www.nationaldayofprayer.org/about): It exists to communicate with every individual the need for p ..read more

This year, the Christian dominionist “National Day Prayer (NDP) Task Force” has outdone itself with its militaristic Christian nationalist graphic, which is comprised of a hand holding up a sword with a Christian cross on it and “sacred heart” on its hilt, with a shield behind it covered with Christian symbology, and an American flag as the sky in the background.  Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, the chaplains at many military bases, who should be organizing non-denominational events that are inclusive of all personnel of any religion who want to attend, are using this NDP Task Force ..read more

April 21, 2024 MRFF’s basic existence (…along with a significant portion of our history) is in response to the blatantly unconstitutional and all too common anti-Semitic attitudes and activities within the U.S. Military and what MRFF President/Founder Mikey Weinstein likes to call the Para-Church/Military/Industrial Complex.

The Military Times reported on June 1, 2023 that the Biden White House ordered the Pentagon to probe antisemitic and Islamophobic be ..read more
