Prayer rally sparks nationalism debate

The 'Rededicate 250' prayer rally drew thousands of participants to Washington, D.C., for a day of worship and patriotic celebration backed by the Trump administration.

Speakers, including members of the president's cabinet and prominent evangelical leaders, emphasized the nation's Christian founding and called for a spiritual renewal.

Critics and civil rights groups have raised alarms, describing the event as a promotion of Christian nationalism that threatens the constitutional boundary between religion and government.

Polling released alongside the event suggests significant public opposition to the far-right vision presented by the rally's organizers.
