Democrat Senate Candidate’s Pastor Declares War on Religion

• James Talarico’s spiritual mentor welcomes atheists who hate religion into his church
• Rev. Jim Rigby openly rejects core Christian doctrine while shaping a Democrat Senate candidate’s worldview
• Faith-based institutions are being targeted for political infiltration by progressive activists

Undercover footage obtained by Breitbart News reveals shocking comments from Rev. Jim Rigby, the pastor and mentor to Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico. Rigby openly declares that his church welcomes atheists who “hate religion” and says they are “on the same team.”

The revelation raises serious questions about the religious and moral foundation of Talarico’s campaign. Voters deserve to know whether a Senate candidate’s closest spiritual advisor truly represents mainstream American values.

Rigby’s remarks represent a direct assault on traditional religious belief. His willingness to embrace those who openly reject faith exposes a troubling pattern among progressive religious leaders.

“If you hate religion we’re on the same team,” Rigby stated in the undercover video. The comment drew immediate attention for its explicit rejection of foundational Christian principles.

Talarico has positioned himself as a moderate Democrat in Texas. Yet his close relationship with Rigby suggests a deeper alignment with radical anti-religious activism than previously known.

Critics argue that such statements from a pastor mentoring a Senate hopeful demonstrate how far-left ideology has infiltrated religious institutions. The footage underscores the growing disconnect between progressive religious figures and traditional faith communities.
