Is Hobby Lobby Responsible for Spreading Hate and White Nationalism?

Some think so!

Illegal smuggling of ancient artifacts.

  • ” …the Department of Justice announced that it had seized an ancient tablet from Hobby Lobby that had been illegally smuggled into the US.” 1
  • “The epic of Gilgamesh is considered one of the most ancient works of literature and originally comes from Iraq. According to the Department of Justice, the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet was smuggled into the US, and an international auction house sold the tablet to Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. The company put the tablet on display at the Museum of the Bible.” 2

Mockery of the separation of church and state. Believing that the US should be a Theocracy.

  • “Arts and crafts giant Hobby Lobby faced a backlash after it ran a full-page advertisement on July 4 in several newspapers across the U.S. that appeared to call for a Christian-run government.” 3
