The Trump Administration has released a massive new report from its “Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias,” arguing that conservative Christians were targeted by the federal government under President Biden.

The report frames conflicts over abortion, LGBTQ rights, education, COVID policies, and workplace protections as evidence of anti-Christian discrimination.

In this episode of The Justice Briefing, Dr. Jemar Tisby examines the report’s arguments, historical claims, and political implications. He explores how white Christian nationalism uses grievance politics, why some Christians conflate losing cultural dominance with losing religious freedom, and what happens when Christianity becomes closely aligned with state power.

This episode also asks a deeper question: What kind of faith are we cultivating if Christianity requires political dominance to feel secure?

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Trump’s “Anti-Christian Bias Task Force” and Executive Order 14202
• Why the report focuses heavily on abortion, gender, and sexuality
• The difference between religious freedom and religious privilege
• How grievance politics fuels white Christian nationalism
• Why “Christian America” rhetoric pushes certain groups to the margins
• The relationship between Christianity and state power throughout history
• How pluralism gets reframed as hostility toward Christianity
• Why true faith does not depend on cultural dominance to survive
