FFRF to Walker: Delete religious tweet - Freedom From Religion Foundation

Think about what would have happened had Walker quoted Friedrich Nietzsche, "God is dead." That should explain it well enough!

It is improper for a state employee, much less for the chief executive officer of the state, to use the machinery of the State of Wisconsin to promote personal religious views. It is unethical to use state phones, mail, e-mail, etc., for personal religious use or promotion, just as it is for campaigning.

[,,,]
,,,To say “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me,” seems more like a threat, or the utterance of a theocratic dictator, than of a duly elected civil servant.

[,,,]
As governor, you took an oath of office to uphold the entirely godless and secular U.S. Constitution. You have misused your secular authority and podium to promote not just religion over non-religion, but one religion over another in a manner that makes many Wisconsin citizens uncomfortable. On behalf of our membership, we ask you to immediately delete this religious message from your official gubernatorial Facebook and Twitter,,, (source)
