Wildly incorrect....
Pretty much the opposite really, "In God we trust" wasn't added to the mid 50s in response to the cold war.
Prior to that one of the foundational beliefs stayed true, separation of church and state.
They're confusing pushback to a new thing as people fighting against tradition
Something rightwing extremists do a lot of
They're not confusing anything, they're just straight up lying. Lying is a sin unless you do it, especially when to push your religion down others throats
Religions should be forbidden at this point, yes, I said what I said. I can't believe we're in 2024 and still the vast majority of the world is believing in a bunch of stone age fairytales that, if forced to start learning them at 20 would mostly get you laughter at the sheer stupidity of it. But we're force feeding this shit to damn near all the world's children, and as such, here we are thinking that any of this is acceptable.
Also, we gotta control theasses with something while they are suffering, a supernatural being giving you heaven for your suffering on earth is perfect.
