Federal Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias gets underway

[Michie]

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) hosted the inaugural meeting this week of a new task force to counter anti-Christian bias in federal government policies, regulations, and practices.

“Protecting Christians from bias is not favoritism,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said ahead of the meeting. “It’s upholding the rule of law and fulfilling the constitutional promise [in the First Amendment].”

The task force’s first meeting on Tuesday was closed to the public and the media but included the heads of multiple federal departments and agencies along with witnesses who provided testimony on anti-Christian bias within the federal government.

President Donald Trump formally established the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias on Feb. 6 by executive order. His order commissioned a comprehensive review of federal departments and agencies, particularly to reverse certain actions of the previous administration.

Sad that we have to have executive orders to get protections that are afforded to us in the constitution.

yeah! Up with religious freedom. Up with religious liberty!

But I pray they will not swing too far - sliding into the ditch of intolerance of certain religious practices in that ditch on the right.

It is one thing to say "we need to protect all Christians against anti-Christian agendas", its another to say we need all Christians to follow a certain religious practice no matter how it conflicts with their current religious practice/pov/beliefs.

So then "yes freedom" but also "no dark ages - please"
