In response to Rep. Greg Steube's speech quoting the Bible, Nadler declared that "What any religious tradition describes as God's will is no concern of this Congress."
Steube quoted the Bible to express the fact that millions of Americans object to transgender identity on religious grounds and to warn that the Equality Act constitutes rebellion against God.
"It's not clothing or personal style that offends God, but rather the use of one's appearance to act out or take on a sexual identity different from the one biologically assigned by God at birth," Steube said.
"Mr. Steube, what any religious tradition describes as God's will is no concern of this Congress," the Democrat argued.
While many historians dispute the claim that America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation, the Declaration of Independence mentions God no fewer than four times, explicitly grounding America's right to independence from Britain in "The Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." Contrary to claims that America's founding was Deist, the Declaration refers to God as "The Supreme Judge of the world" and expresses confidence in "The protection of divine Providence."
Nadler's statement that "God's will is no concern of this Congress" provides a glimpse of the Equality Act's enormous attack on religious freedom.
By attempting to exclude God from the discussion, Nadler is demonstrating how the Equality Act will silence Americans of faith who disagree with LGBT orthodoxy.
