House Speaker Mike Johnson is drawing attention after speaking at the “America Reads the Bible” event in Washington, D.C., where leaders and believers gathered to publicly read Scripture ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. The event was presented as a call for the nation to remember the spiritual foundation that shaped much of its early history.
Johnson used the moment to point people back to the Bible, saying America cannot understand its principles, rights, laws, or future apart from the moral foundation found in Scripture. His message connected national renewal with a return to God’s Word, prayer, humility, and faith.
The event sparked strong reactions because it placed the Bible in the center of a national conversation about America’s future. Supporters saw it as a bold reminder that the country needs God again, while critics argued it mixed religion and politics, making Johnson’s call for America to return to faith one of the most debated moments of the gathering.
