What do religious Americans think of Trump's Anti-Christian Bias Task Force?
A new report issued by the Public Religion Research Institute on April 23, 2025, gives us a snapshot of how religious Americans view President Trump's Anti-Christian Bias Task Force. You can read the full report on the PRRI website.
Most Americans (78%) oppose “the establishment of a federal task force that focuses exclusively on discrimination against Christians rather than discrimination against all religions,” while only 16% favor it. The majority of Democrats (91%), independents (85%), and Republicans (66%) oppose such a task force.
Jewish Americans (89%) and the religiously unaffiliated (89%) express the highest opposition to the establishment of a task force on anti-Christian bias, followed closely by Black Protestants (83%), white mainline/non-evangelical Protestants (82%), Latter-day Saints (80%), white Catholics (79%), Hispanic Catholics (79%), other non-Christians (76%), and Hispanic Protestants (74%). Although still a majority, white evangelical Protestants (66%) report the lowest opposition.
Most Americans across media trust, race, gender, education levels, and generation oppose the establishment of a task force that focuses on discrimination against Christians. Strong majorities of Christian nationalism Rejecters (95%) and Skeptics (87%) oppose the establishment of such a task force. Notably, a majority of both Christian nationalism Adherents (51%) and Sympathizers (69%) also oppose it.
