Under Joe Biden's presidency, indeed under that of his mentor, Barack Obama, too, American government was rife with anti-Christian bias.
There was Obama's orchestrated war to try to force Catholic nuns to pay for abortions, there were Biden's orders that churches be shut down for COVID, while bars and strip clubs were open. There was Obama's blast at voters who "cling to their Bibles." There was Biden's open defiance of his own claimed Catholic beliefs in his support for unlimited abortions.
Biden dispatched federal investigators to monitor religious parents at school boards and conservative Catholics in worship. Obama's IRS openly attacked Christians for their beliefs.
President Donald Trump is changing that trend:
He has announced, that "to confront such weaponization and religious persecution," there now is a new task force.
"Today I am signing an executive order to make our attorney general, who's a great person … she's gonna be a great attorney general, Pam Bondi, the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti Christian bias," he said.
Trump made the comments at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
He said the goal will be to "immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government." And he cited the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He also announced plans to "protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares."
He said his goal is to "bring our country back together as one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all."
Trump also announced the establishment of the White House Faith Office.
Kelly Shackelford, chief counsel for First Liberty Institute, said, "We are thrilled that President Trump recognizes that religious liberty is foundational to all of our Constitutional freedoms and plans to do all he can do to protect our first freedom. All Americans should be free to exercise their faith without government intrusion in school, in the military, in the workplace, and in the public square.
"We are ready to stand with President Trump to ensure that the religious liberty of every American is safe and secure."
