Michael Appleton/Mayoral Photography OfficeMayor Eric Adams said Sunday that religion and government should not “interfere” with one another, but pointedly declined to say that they should be “separate.”
Adams proclaimed that God himself had chosen to make him New York’s mayor, and subsequently declared himself a “servant of God.” The mayor also raised eyebrows when he stated that “when we took prayers out of schools, guns came into schools.”“The last words I said after I was sworn in is, so help me God. On our dollar bill, we have, in God we trust. Every president touched a religious book when they were sworn in except for three,” Adams said.
“Government should not interfere with religion, religion should not interfere with government. That can’t happen and it should never happen,” the mayor said. “But my faith is how I carry out the practices that I do and the policy, such as helping people who are homeless, such as making sure that we show compassion in what we do in our city. Government should never be in religion, religion should never be in government. And I hope I’m very clear on that.
