Trump Champions Faith and Freedom with New White House Initiatives
Washington, D.C. — In a bold move to uphold religious freedom and defend Christian believers nationwide, President Donald Trump announced the creation of a White House Faith Office and a new task force aimed at combating anti-Christian bias within the federal government.
Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to protecting religious liberty, vowing to end discrimination against Christians and to ensure faith remains a pillar of American society. “The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government,” he declared.
Defending Christianity Against Bias
Under Trump’s directive, Attorney General Pam Bondi will lead the newly established task force, charged with identifying and eliminating policies or practices that unfairly target Christians in federal agencies such as the DOJ, FBI, and IRS. The president also pledged full prosecution of anti-Christian violence and vandalism, reinforcing his administration’s stance against hostility toward religious believers.
While Trump did not cite specific examples, conservatives have long argued that Christian groups face disproportionate scrutiny from federal agencies, particularly on issues of religious expression, abortion, and gender policies. Under Biden, Christian organizations and individuals who refused to comply with progressive mandates faced legal and financial penalties, fueling concerns of religious persecution.
A White House Faith Office to Guide Policy
As part of his broader agenda to restore faith’s influence in government, Trump also announced the revival of the White House Faith Office, to be led by Rev. Paula White, a longtime spiritual advisor. The office will serve as a bridge between the administration and religious communities, ensuring that policies reflect the values and concerns of faith-based organizations.
Trump originally created a similar office during his first term, establishing unprecedented access for religious leaders to the White House. The decision to reinstate the office underscores his commitment to prioritizing the interests of Christian voters and defending their place in public life.
A Strong Voice for Religious Liberty
During his remarks, Trump emphasized that his own near-death experiences—including two failed assassination attempts—have deepened his faith and strengthened his resolve to protect religious freedom. “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason,” he shared.
The president also took direct aim at the Biden administration, accusing it of weaponizing government agencies against Christians and conservative believers. He criticized Biden’s focus on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab initiatives while ignoring discrimination against Christians.
Trump further announced the creation of a Commission on Religious Liberty, which will monitor violations of faith-based rights and provide policy recommendations. He specifically condemned the persecution of pro-life advocates, pointing to the Biden administration’s legal actions against anti-abortion activists as an example of religious discrimination.
“If we don’t have religious liberty, then we don’t have a free country,” Trump declared, drawing applause from faith leaders and lawmakers in attendance.
A Champion of Christian Values
Throughout his presidency, Trump has positioned himself as the strongest advocate for religious conservatives in modern American history. From appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade to defending religious expression in schools and workplaces, his administration has delivered on key promises to Christian voters.
With the White House Faith Office and anti-Christian bias task force, Trump is reinforcing his legacy as a defender of faith, ensuring that Christian values remain protected in America’s laws and policies. His latest actions send a clear message: under his leadership, religious freedom will not be compromised.
