The article discusses a shift in the focus of the religious right, which has transitioned from defending religious liberty to seeking power and imposing its agenda. It highlights the Trump administration's decision to defund Christian organizations, including those providing aid to marginalized communities, emphasizing that these cuts are not aimed at addressing the federal deficit. Catholic relief organizations have warned of the catastrophic impact these cuts have on the vulnerable populations they serve, indicating a troubling transformation in the goals and methods of the religious right.
The new religious right has shifted focus from defending liberty to wielding power, imposing its will on Christian organizations deemed 'woke' or opposing Trump.
The Trump administration's decision to defund Christian organizations undermined years of relief work, with cuts viewed as catastrophic by groups like Caritas International.
These funding reductions, affecting essential services for vulnerable populations, highlight a troubling trend within the religious right's priorities and power dynamics.
Federal budget allocations show that direct foreign aid, including cuts, accounts for less than 1.17 percent of total government spending, making these cuts seem misplaced.
