Politico reported on Friday that State Department employees are required to report coworkers who show “anti-Christian bias”.
The order is in line with the executive order issued by President Donald Trump on February 6, “to protect religious freedoms for Americans and to end the anti-Christian weaponization” of government.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was appointed to a task force created by an executive order in order to eliminate anti-Christian bias.
The task force is a two-year group headed by Pam Bondi and tasked with identifying and correcting any anti-Christian policies and actions that were taken under the Biden Administration.
According to a copy of an internal cable that Politico obtained, the State Department would work with the Task Force to collect data “relating to anti-religious prejudice during the previous presidential administration” and use anonymous employee reporting forms to gather examples of anti-Christian bias.
Politico reported that the cable stated: “Reports must be as specific as possible. Include names, dates and locations (e.g. the post office or domestic offices where the incident took place).”
The cable also added that the Department will collect all examples of anti-religious bias.
Politico reported that the task force would meet on or around April 22nd to discuss their initial findings.
Trump’s executive orders said Biden-era equal-employment officials tried to “force Christians into affirming radical transgender ideologies against their faith” and that another department “tried to drive Christians from the foster care system”.
At the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump announced three initiatives in his administration that will “bring faith back” to America. These include a White House Faith Office, a Religious Liberty Commission, and a task force aimed at addressing anti-Christian bias in the federal government.
Trump stated that the task force’s mission would be to stop all anti-Christian discrimination and targeting within the federal government. This includes the DOJ, which was terrible, the IRS, FBI, and other agencies.
