The U.S. Department of Justice released a\u00a0report\u00a0titled \u201cEradicating Anti-Christian Bias Within the Federal Government\u201d Thursday. The report, which spans about 200 pages and contains over 300 pages of exhibits, was compiled by the Trump administration\u2019s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cNo American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Blanche, who serves as chair of the Task Force to Eradicate Christian Bias. \u201cAs our report lays out, the Biden Administration\u2019s actions devastated the lives of many Christian Americans. That devastation ended with President Trump. The Department of Justice will continue to expose bad actors who targeted Christians and work tirelessly to restore religious liberty for all Americans of faith.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

One of the main findings of the report was that the Biden administration imposed disparate penalties on Christian institutions and pro-life activists compared to their liberal or secular counterparts. The report cites statistics documenting prosecutions under the\u00a0Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which subjects anyone who \u201cintentionally injures, intimidates, or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person\u201d who provides or assists in the provision of abortions to federal charges.\n<\/p>\n

In addition to subjecting pro-life protesters to federal charges, the FACE Act imposes federal charges on anyone who targets religious houses of worship, and its protections also apply to pro-life pregnancy centers.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Biden DOJ requested an average sentence of 26.8 months for pro-life defendants, compared to 12.3 months for pro-choice defendants,\u201d the report stated. \u201cPro-life defendants were ultimately sentenced to an average of 14 months, while pro-abortion defendants were sentenced to an average of 3 months.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The report also maintains that the Biden administration selectively enforced the Johnson Amendment, which prohibits nonprofit organizations, including churches, from engaging in political advocacy or supporting political candidates. For example, New Way Church in Florida was investigated by the Biden administration after a school board candidate spoke at the congregation, and Grace Church in St. Louis faced scrutiny for outlining \u201cpositions local candidates held\u201d as a tool to educate voters.\n<\/p>\n

By contrast, the report found \u201cno public indications\u201d that the Biden administration opened investigations into the more than 1,600 faith leaders in the U.S. who backed former President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.\n<\/p>\n

The report cited data from the American Principles Project, finding that 59 of 87 actions taken by the U.S. Department of Education were targeted at \u201cfaith-based or career education schools.\u201d This accounts for roughly 70% of all enforcement actions despite the fact that these schools only educate 10% of students. Another finding from the report revealed that the average fine imposed against a Christian school amounted to $815,000 compared to $228,571 against secular public and private institutions.\n<\/p>\n

One of the most notable enforcement actions taken during the Biden administration was a $37.7 million fine against Grand Canyon University for allegedly engaging in deceptive advertising, despite the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit finding no evidence of wrongdoing by the Christian school. Liberty University also faced a $14 million fine for allegedly violating a federal law requiring transparency about \u201cpublic safety issues\u201d at institutions of higher education.\n<\/p>\n

Several years earlier, when Pennsylvania State University made national headlines for violating the same law by failing to report acts of child molestation by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, it was fined a much smaller amount of $2.4 million. When Michigan State University was found to have violated the law by not reporting illicit sexual behavior by team physician Dr. Larry Nassar, its fine was $4.5 million.\n<\/p>\n

When the U.S. Department of Homeland Security conducted faith-based outreach efforts between March 2023 and January 2024, the agency met with 20 Muslim organizations, 18 Jewish organizations, one Sikh organization and 20 organizations characterized as \u201cinterfaith groups whose invitees and content require further review to determine inclusivity.\u201d Just two of the groups DHS met with as part of its faith-based outreach were explicitly Christian.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThis disparity is notable given that Christians comprise an estimated 62 percent of the U.S. population,\u201d the report states. The document also cites testimony from DHS employees who alleged that \u201cWithin the workplace, employees were directed to avoid explicit reference to Christian celebrations like Christmas, while similar directives were not provided in cases of holidays celebrated by other religions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Additional actions taken by the Biden administration that were flagged as problematic in the report include the denial of economic injury disaster loans from the Small Business Administration to nearly 170 Christian organizations on the basis of their faith and awarding less than half of Federal Emergency Management Agency funding reserved for religious nonprofits to Christian organizations.\n<\/p>\n
