President Trump, at the National Prayer Breakfast, announced the creation of a task force to combat perceived anti-Christian bias in federal agencies, appointing Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead it. He emphasized the urgency of addressing discrimination within the Department of Justice, IRS, and FBI. While Trump vowed to prosecute anti-Christian violence and protect religious rights, the initiative raises concerns about constitutional implications regarding the separation of church and state, particularly as legal experts invoke the First Amendment’s establishment clause in debates surrounding the government's role in religion.
The mission of this task force will be to immediately hold all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, IRS, FBI.
Trump did not give examples of what constitutes anti-Christian bias, the planned executive action could pose constitutional questions about the separation of church and state.
Legal experts have often pointed to the establishment clause of that amendment which says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
Some evangelical advocates have argued that Christianity is a fundamental part of the US government system.
