Examples include the denial of religious exemptions for COVID-19 shots to major fines for schools such as Liberty University and Grand Canyon University.
Christian perspectives were also omitted from a Customs and Border directive for detainees. Things from other faiths were included or allowed. Meanwhile, the Biden administration arrested and convicted around 24 people for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act while doing nothing to "protect places of worship and crisis pregnancy centers."
There was also State Department bias as the agency was criticized for showing muted responses toward attacks on Christians and offering limited support globally, the report found.
Other allegations included preferential treatment for non-Christian employees and fewer accommodations for Christian holidays, according to The New York Post.
A larger report is planned to be released by February of 2026.
“Joe Biden weaponized the full weight of the federal government against Christians and trampled on their fundamental First Amendment rights. Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump is protecting Christians, not punishing them,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told The Post.
Arielle Del Turco, Director of the Center for Religious Liberty at Family Research Council, said she was encouraged by the task force's actions.
"I'm excited to see them work on fixing some of these things and I'm hopeful that some of these things will last even in the future administrations."
Attorney General Pam Bondi is part of the task force. It was formed in the spring of 2025 and began meeting in April.
While we often hear about discrimination based on things such as race or sex, Del Turco said that we do not often hear about anti-Christian bias or anti-Christian discrimination.
"But we've seen that even in this report that federal employees who worked for HUD or Department of State felt like that they were passed up for promotions because they were overtly Christian, because they had Bibles and crosses in their cubicles," said Del Turco. "So, certainly when we feel like we are openly being discriminated against, we should not just be taking that for granted. We should be raising awareness on that because it's not right, that's not legal, and I'm thankful the Trump administration is addressing it."
