Some Clergy Oppose President Trump's "Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias"



The Wisconsin Council of Churches took exception to the formation of President Trump's "Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias," stating in an open letter dated March 11,  2025:

 "We, the undersigned, urge the federal government to protect the religious liberty of all people and we strongly condemn the rise of Christian Nationalism, a dangerous conflation of fundamentalist Christianity, conservative politics, and fierce patriotism which distorts what it means to be an American citizen and an engaged Christian in society."

Furthermore, 

"This executive order is a threat to the religious pluralism enshrined in the constitution and does not protect Christians; rather it aligns the federal government with Christian Nationalism."
