When Stephen Colbert started worrying that the religious liberty executive order President Donald Trump signed Thursday would bring politics into his church, he decided to ask “God” for His opinion.
After stating that many people fear the order — which eases IRS restrictions on the political activity of religious groups — will allow religion to have too much influence on politics, The Late Show host explained that he is nervous about the reverse.
