Donald Trump has set up a task force to tackle all the ‘anti-Christian bias’ he claims is happening – 16 top responses
Donald Trump has had the Sharpies out again, with yet another executive order.
He addressed the National Prayer Breakfast, where we can only assume they were saying a couple of Hail Marys for the price of eggs, to announce an EO creating a task force to tackle all that anti-Chrisian bias that we hear so much about all the time.

In what must be a sigh of relief for people who hate that pesky separation of Church and State rule from the US Constitution, he’s also setting up a White House Faith Office, to be headed by his former Spiritual Advisor, Paula White.

People wondered whether the anti-Christian bias might go to another school – amongst other things.

Ya know what's anti-christian? A bible dedicated to earthly kingdoms that you slap your name on and sell for $60. https://t.co/TAGUFrDuur

There isn’t anti-Christian bias in America, there’s anti-Jesus bias in American Evangelical Christianity.

I am so proud of President Trump for his plan to banish the scourge of discrimination against Christians in our nation. This is no small feat. Even just finding discrimination against Christians could take a task force several years.

5300 members of the clergy are convicted pedophiles. There are 10 transgender athletes in NCAA sports. Which “problem” should be given priority?

I don't know who the fuck paula white is and I don't fucking care. A "white house faith office" has no fucking business in my government. The @aclu needs to get on this asap.

Generally speaking, slashing government funding for Christian organizations like Catholic Relief Services, attacking Lutheran charities, and maligning the US Conference of Catholic Bishops isn't especially pro-Christian. https://t.co/ABhPXQkh9Q

Biblical scholar and caller-out of BS, Dan McClellan had this to add.
If you think efforts to dismantle systemic power asymmetries faced by disadvantaged & minoritized groups are bad, but efforts to more deeply entrench & institutionalize systemic power asymmetries enjoyed by privileged & powerful groups are good, you need to grow the hell up. https://t.co/Vs7YZ5LIWN
