No we have not as Mr Brewer made clear and your denialism is hilarious.And no what this is about is as stated and have refuted it .

And just what do you think that is?

If stoners smoking pot in the privacy of their own livingrooms disturbs this guy, it's quite possible that he thinks religious liberty is under attack, even if nonbelievers are simply minding their own business and going about their lives..
I don't trust the dude at all.
So it’s just a feeling then?
This is just a policy, it’s not changing any laws. I don’t see what there is to be afraid of.

Well your god sure didn't mind wiping out nearly an entire population of people simply because he didn't like how they turned out. Funny, but how they "turned out" was part of his plan. Isn't that what all you christers say he has? A big plan for each of us? How utterly shitty your god is if his plan included innocent children to die.
And now Sessions wants to further the Christian agenda to oppress any religion that doesn't fit his religion's ideals.

A policy with disturbing implications which you are hell bent of ignoring

Where do you see that. I think that you have a vivid imagination.

Nope. You don't get to make an assumption about what I'm thinking and then back out when called out on it.

His policy on marijuana demonstrates a lack of respect for people's private choices that they make in their own private lives. He resists measures taken by states via their own democratic processes to legalize a mostly harmless drug due to his good ol' boy mentality. He's shown America what he's about numerous times by pushing backwards policies.
It's not "just a feeling" to wonder if he's not going to carry that same backwards-minded mentality into his religious liberty task force efforts. It's a genuine concern. I didn't say he was going to use his "task force" to infringe upon nonbelievers, but given his attitude concerning numerous issues, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
