Given Christianity’s dominance in US, Trump raises eyebrows with anti-Christian bias initiative

Christianity is by far the largest faith in America, and Christian conservatives have a strong grip on the levers of government. That dominance is leaving many to question why President Donald Trump’s new task force on eradicating anti-Christian bias is needed.

Critics see the task force initiative as unnecessary and pandering to Trump’s base. But some Christian supporters said it is overdue, claiming the Biden administration had discriminated against them through actions and inactions

The two-year task force, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi and composed of Cabinet and other government representatives, is assigned to review and “identify any unlawful anti-Christian” actions under the Biden administration, change any objectionable policies and recommend steps to rectify any past failures

Bruce Ledewitz, a law professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, criticized the mindset behind the executive order as that of a powerful group claiming victimhood.

The Christian conservative movement — a core Republican constituency — now has significant sway on the Supreme Court and in numerous states, Congress and the presidency, Ledewitz said. And still, they declare, “We are victims,” he said.

Huh Mr. Ledewitz, what about the blm and antifa radicals that burned down cities and Kamala bailed them out.

Andthe Cia paid 500 million for it.

[ifinnegan]

This is a leftist trope that Christians don’t face bias in this country.

[Jonty30]

It’s the bureaucracy that needs to be changed. They created policies that harmed Christians.

With the election of Donald Trump, for the moment.

There has been severe anti-Christian bias in the Media, which held the most power in the USA for the past 50 years.

The election of Donald Trump is at least partly, a reaction to the anti-Christian bias.

And women claim they're the minority even though they outnumber men. LOL

Is this article for real?

I have NEVER searched for ANYTHING remotely asking whether Jesus ever existed or not...I’ve searched for topics I wanted to learn more about...”the beginnings of Christianity” and “historical Jesus” because I was interested in some of the texts from after His Resurrection that mentioned Him.

I got a littany of videos titled along the lines of “Jesus never existed..here’s why”

That’s called BIAS.

That was youtube if anyone wants to know.

[datricker]

Forty years ago almost 90% of the population was Christen of some variety.

Anybody know what it is today? Google says 67%.

Raises eyebrows what a bunch of baloney

[PGR88]

America’s leftist elites, and “progressive” / woke Fed.gov are thoroughly anti-Christian.

woke, post-modern American progressives “must be” anti-Christian. Its the defining nature of their belief system.

Oh, "Christian dominance," just like "male dominance," "white dominance," "military dominance"... all those BAD things.

I see.

[Arcadian Empire]

There is a worldwide war on Christianity.

[No name given]

Exactly.

[No name given]

And it’s been going on ever since The Resurrection of Jesus.

[No name given]

Correct!

[Williams]

OMG these people are so full of crap. On just about every page on Facebook even with completely non-religious topics, they line up to attack Christians.

So there are too many of us to be protected?

[Eli Kopter]

This is really a stupid article.

[Eli Kopter]

Stupid in the sense that it is not an article, it is a stupid editorial written with extreme bias and malfeasance.

These things DID NOT happen in a vacuum - Did you ever wonder why the Barack Hussein Obama and Democrat Joe Biden administrations PUT SO MUCH EFFORT into Godless, Reprobate agendas? This IS NOT a coincidence

For me, one of the tells of the left is how often they now use the phrase "Christian nationalists". I don't know exactly what that is. Nor have I been invited to their meetings.

But hearing Harris and Biden and others use that phrase is telling me that they're getting comfortable saying that Christians are the new evil. In the past they expected their underlings in the MSM and universities to push that phrase while the leaders appeared above the fray. Now the big dog leaders believe their anti-Christian agenda is popular enough for the leaders themselves to say it.
