A Trump Commission Urges 'Bridges' Between Church and State in Sweeping Draft Report
The 224-page draft urges broader religious expression in schools and public life and calls for exemptions, federal guidance and compensation for vaccine holdouts.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump touted a newly released draft report from the Religious Liberty Commission in Washington, urging 'bridges' between church and state rather than strict separation.
- Created by Trump last year, the commission is filled almost entirely by conservative Christians and argues that strict separation stems from a 'God is dead' ideology originating in Europe.
- The 224-page report recommends eliminating the Johnson Amendment, a longstanding Trump goal, while proposing 'Know Your Rights' posters and a Presidential Medal of Religious Liberty.
- Critics, including the Interfaith Alliance, filed a lawsuit challenging the commission's lack of ideological diversity, while a coalition issued a preemptive report defending church-state separation.
- Available for public comment over the next 15 days, the draft faces opposition from groups defending the First Amendment as the administration asks a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit.
