President Donald Trump participated in a Bible reading marathon, reading a passage from 2 Chronicles, which is often used by supporters of Christian nationalism to support the idea that America was founded as a Christian nation. The passage, which speaks of humility and repentance, was read by Trump from the Oval Office during an event held at the Museum of the Bible in Washington. Critics, including progressive pastors, argue that the use of this verse is taken out of context and used to promote a partisan political agenda. Over time, this passage has been cited by several presidents and has become an integral part of National Day of Prayer. The marathon also includes other politicians and celebrities, each reading biblical passages significant to them.
