The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, launched under the Trump administration, highlights a growing concern among many Americans regarding perceived discrimination against Christians. Chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi, the task force aims to identify and rectify any anti-Christian conduct by federal agencies. “The federal government will never again be permitted to turn its power against people of faith,” the report asserts, signaling a commitment to uphold religious liberty.
This initiative came to light after a troubling review by the task force exposed what it describes as numerous instances of bias during the Biden administration. The report, obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital, outlines specific agencies where anti-Christian sentiment allegedly influenced policies, such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Education. Here, the administration reportedly mishandled requests for religious exemptions related to the COVID-19 mandate. Additionally, significant financial penalties were levied against major Christian universities, raising eyebrows about the administration’s approach to religious institutions.
White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers pointedly remarked, “Joe Biden weaponized the full weight of the federal government against Christians and trampled on their fundamental First Amendment rights.” This statement underscores a belief among Trump’s supporters that the current administration is hostile to traditional faith perspectives.
The task force’s findings extend to the Department of Homeland Security, which allegedly failed to include Christian considerations in directives concerning detainees while affirming accommodations for other faiths. The report emphasizes how these actions not only marginalize Christians, but also mark a deviation from equal treatment under the law. “The days of anti-Christian bias in the federal government are over,” the report proclaims.
Diving deeper, the report reveals alarming trends within the Department of Justice. During the Biden era, the department reportedly prosecuted individuals who prayed outside abortion clinics while ignoring violations against places of worship and crisis pregnancy centers. This seeming inconsistency raises serious concerns over the protection of religious freedoms.
In another striking example, the FBI characterized “radical-traditionalist” Catholics as potential domestic terrorism threats, highlighting a worrisome trend toward viewing devout Christian practices through a lens of suspicion. Critics of the Biden administration argue that such categorizations reflect a broader intolerance towards orthodox Christian viewpoints.
The State Department also drew scrutiny. The task force noted that it responded inadequately to the humanitarian needs of Christians and provided limited resources compared to other groups. It also implemented hiring practices that appeared to favor non-Christian applicants over Christian employees, further eroding the religious fabric of government employment.
Moreover, the Department of Labor’s decision to dismantle the office of faith-based initiatives in favor of a diversity, equity, and inclusion office raises questions about the government’s commitment to supporting religious values within the workforce. Such actions suggest a push towards a secular agenda that may not align with the beliefs of many Americans.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee stated that the findings from the task force are just the beginning. The inquiry will continue, looking into how deeply anti-Christian bias has permeated federal institutions. A final report is anticipated by February 2026, signaling a long-term commitment to ensuring that faith plays a respected role in public life.
Through this task force, the Trump administration aims to reaffirm religious liberty as a cornerstone of American identity, stressing that faith should not be seen as a liability but as a fundamental freedom. “Faith is not a liability in America—it is a liberty,” the report emphatically concludes.
The establishment of a White House Faith Office further underscores this commitment, aiming to support faith-based organizations in serving their communities. This effort seeks to bridge the gap between governmental policies and the values cherished by many Americans. Critics and proponents alike will undoubtedly be watching closely as the task force progresses in its mission to uncover and correct instances of anti-Christian bias in government.
