Trump announced at the National Prayer Prayer Breakfast an EO on countering ‘anti Christian bias,’ yet Interfaith Alliance is calling out the Trump administration for “incendiary and unprecedented attacks on faith communities”.
In a new briefing memo available here, Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush – president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance and an ordained Baptist minister – points out the numerous ways in which the Trump Administration has openly targeted faith leaders, religious communities and religious freedom.
The memo details numerous attacks to date on faith communities including Lutherans, Catholics, Episcopalians, Jewish Americans and others.
“We are now actually witnessing the federal government marshaling resources to attack individual faith leaders and major religious institutions…These attacks on religious institutions are meant to have a chilling effect on faith leaders’ religious freedom to hold governments accountable.”
