  • On July 4, 2021, Hobby Lobby began to trend on Twitter after the company purportedly placed an ad in multiple newspapers across the country that promoted Christian ideals. The top of the ad read: One Nation Under God. The trending topic also appeared under What's Happening on Twitter: One of the most shared tweets was from @Barkiologist. It was true that Hobby Lobby placed the One Nation Under God ad in multiple newspapers. In fact, the company uploaded a PDF of the ad to its website, tweeted about it, and posted it on the Hobby Lobby Facebook page: In Hobby Lobby's One Nation Under God full-page ad, a Bible verse was printed, followed by three columns of quotes about Christianity. Some of the quotes came from former U.S. presidents including George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and John Quincy Adams. There were also sections of quotes from other figures from history, titled Founding Fathers, Supreme Court Justices, Congress, Education, Supreme Court Rulings, and Foreign Opinion. At the bottom of the ad, it read: We found other tweets, such as this one from @TBlountNews: The Hobby Lobby newspaper ad was also printed in The Boston Globe: Another tweet mentioned that the Hobby Lobby ad ran in Oregon's Register-Guard newspaper: The number of newspapers in which the Hobby Lobby ad ran was unclear. On the Hobby Lobby website, it mentioned that the company has a long history of placing newspaper ads on holidays: We reached out to Hobby Lobby to learn more about the newspaper ad and will update this story should we hear back.
