A special task force of the U.S. Department of Justice has published a 200-page report alleging widespread anti-Christian bias within the federal government during the presidency of Joe Biden.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that officials had used administrative power to punish Americans for their religious beliefs. The document is based on findings from 17 federal agencies, thousands of footnotes, and testimony from more than 100 alleged victims of discrimination.
Investigators documented cases involving parents who opposed LGBT-related content at school board meetings, as well as what the report describes as the forced implementation of gender ideology across government institutions.
According to the report, the Biden administration deliberately ignored employees’ right to refuse vaccination on grounds of conscience, allegedly labeling their beliefs as “insincere.” The Justice Department also stated that its Civil Rights Division promoted materials asserting that Christians could not, in principle, be victims of discrimination.
The department says it has now begun rescinding discriminatory directives and has halted the use of the FACE Act to pressure believers near churches.
U.S. authorities also restored the right of government employees to freely express their views and initiated legal proceedings aimed at protecting religious communities from violations of their rights. The Attorney General’s Office stated that it intends to completely eliminate anti-Christian bias within the state apparatus.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that a U.S. Senate candidate had called for Hagia Sophia to be returned to the Orthodox Church.
