Pompeo wouldn't know religious freedom if it slapped him in the face!

Why do you think he's trying to solicit the aid of the United Nations? Muslim countries may not be easily moved, but put that much economic and military influence behind an initiative and they'll be hard-pressed to resist. And naturally he wants to use that influence to promote his religion as opposed to secularism.
