On February 6, 2025, during the traditional National Prayer Breakfast, U.S. President Donald Trump called on Americans to bring God back into their lives, apnews.com reports.
At the event, Trump announced the creation of a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to root out "anti-Christian bias." Trump said Bondi would also work to “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”
Trump underscored that his perspective on faith changed after the assassination attempts in 2024. "I believed in God, but I feel, I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened!" he said.
Trump reflected on having a bullet coming within a hair’s breadth of killing him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, telling attendees, “It changed something in me, I feel.” Later at the prayer breakfast sponsored by a private group, he remarked, “It was God that saved me.”
The U.S. President also urged Americans to "bring God back into their lives". He asserted that religious liberty is “part of the bedrock of American life” and called for protecting it with “absolute devotion."
Earlier, it was reported that Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.
