Growing up, I went to church with my family every Sunday to hear my father preach. During the week, we spent time with other Christian families praying, singing hymns, and living out our faith.
We felt safe practicing our Christian faith because we serve the all-powerful God, but also because of the U.S. Constitution.
Fast forward to the Obama and, even worse, the Biden administration. It became obvious to anyone paying attention that our government disfavored Christians in almost every way. To name just a few, we were being discriminated against in government contracts, as Christian charities, in First Amendment claims, as foster parents, and even in service to the country. A high-ranking military official quietly shared with me that during President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, Christian members of the military were afraid to wear Crosses due to fear of retaliation and potential withholding of promotions.
But finally, thanks to months of work and an over 200-page report from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ), we know this to be true. Last week, the DOJ published its extensive and well-documented report, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1438506/dl?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1438506/dl?utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgovdelivery&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1778090745948000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2AebOqL2v4IBjqZYIR0WoT">Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government.</a>
While it may not come as a shock to Christians that former President Biden and his cronies engaged in anti-Christian actions, what is shocking is the extent of the persecution.
During those four years, the federal government prosecuted pro-life activists under the FACE Act for peaceful protests outside abortion clinics, with the Biden DOJ pursuing more severe charges and significantly harsher sentences for peaceful pro-life defendants than violent pro-abortion defendants. The Biden Administration even colluded with abortion providers to persecute pro-life Americans.
The Biden Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) interpreted the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to mean that employers are required to accommodate an employee&#8217;s abortion, even if doing so would go against the employer&#8217;s religious beliefs, such as those of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The Biden administration relied on the Supreme Court’s narrow Bostock decision to expand the definition of sex discrimination across federal policy, including Title IX and EEOC enforcement — moves that prompted legal challenges from religious employers who argued their beliefs were not adequately protected.
Thousands of religious organizations that participated in the National School Lunch Program were barred from doing so under the Biden administration unless they complied with the new definition of sex. This reduced the amount of food available to kids who relied on it.
The Biden administration attempted to prohibit so-called &#8220;conversion therapy,&#8221; a.k.a. the ability for Christian counselors to counsel those struggling with homosexuality or gender dysphoria.
At the international level, the Biden administration removed Nigeria from its list of countries of particular concern, despite the well-documented cases of Christians being raped, murdered, and tortured for their religious beliefs.
The examples are seemingly endless. The takeaway is that the Biden administration did everything it could to prohibit Christians from acting in accordance with our beliefs. The administration was willing to risk the lives of Americans for the sake of persecuting Christianity.
This should concern all Americans, Christian or not. This is not the America the Founders created, and it’s not the one I grew up with.
The government should not be in the business of persecuting anyone for their religious beliefs. Christians must be free to practice their religion without fear of being harassed by the government.
Going forward, we are grateful that the Trump DOJ has identified and exposed the depth of the anti-Christian bias toward and persecution of Christians during former President Biden’s tenure. And we are glad the DOJ is working to rectify the anti-Christian policies so that Christians’ rights are protected. We encourage the DOJ to follow through and work to restore that which was taken from Christians throughout the government, and to ensure this persecution does not happen by the federal government again.
However, the onus is on us, as Christians, to be guardians of the rights of future generations of Christian believers and members of other faiths. The Founders understood, thanks to Evangelist George Whitefield, that our rights come from God, not government. We must permit no erosion of these rights. At Concerned Women for America, we simply will not permit it. Join our efforts.
