The White House has issued a statement calling President Donald Trump “the most pro-faith, pro-life, and pro-religious liberty president in American history.”

And the claim is backed up by 250 bullet points that explain his work to protect faith’s freedoms in the United States.

He explains online that he’s “protected religious liberty,” with a White House Faith Office, hearings by the Religious Liberty Commission, the new Center for Faith, and a Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.

He “ordered the repeal of all regulations that violate religious liberty under new U.S. Supreme Court religious liberty precedents” and the “The Department of Education released prayer guidance emphasizing that students and school officials have a right to pray in school as an expression of individual faith and that parents have the right to direct the education and upbringing of their children.”

The next category was the president’s defense of “Houses of Worship.”

That now is a “top priority” for the Department of Justice through the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons law. In fact dozens of “radical left rioters” who invaded a Minnesota church, disrupting worship and terrifying children with threats about their parents, were arrested, and churches’ free speech, long impaired by the Johnson Amendment, instead is being protected.

The White House also has worked to secure conscience rights, obtaining an agreement from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Christians are allowed to run their businesses according to their faith, specifically on disputes created by the rampant transgender ideology pushed by Joe Biden.

That includes the use of pronouns, restrooms and dress codes.

The Department of Health and Human Services has launched investigations into states for allegedly coercing health care entities to pay for abortion coverage, and struck down a demand from Biden that pharmacists stock and dispense abortion chemicals.

Action by companies to refuse religious accommodations during the China virus COVID-19 pandemic also has prompted investigations.

Related is the Trump administration’s efforts to end weaponization of the government, which was expanded under both the Barack Obama and Joe Biden regimes.

Launched was the Weaponization Working Group to investigate those attacks, including those under the Biden administration targeting traditional Catholics and pro-life groups. The goernment also released a “bombshell report on how the Biden DOJ collaborated with pro-abortion groups to target pro-lifers.”

The president pardoned Christians and pro-life activists persecuted by the Biden regime for praying and peacefully living out their faith.

Additionally, the FBI ended “all ties” with the leftist, and now-indicted, Southern Poverty Law Center.

The White House worked to expand free speech by halting the industry practice of debanking individuals for their religious beliefs.

Also, the Department of Justice announced the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would investigate Major League Baseball for threatening Christian players who displayed Bible verses on their caps.

And Trump ended the previous administration’s efforts to “coerce social media giants to censor disfavored speech.”

The White House fought anti-Semitism with a task force and advisory committee, as well as a 15-city national awareness and action tour.

Multiple investigations were launched and Harvard was sued for “tolerating assaults, harassment, and intimidation of Jewish and Israeli students.”

Other topics included the protection of faith-based organizations, the expansion of school choice in pursuit of a “wholesome education,” a reaffirmation of parental rights, including protecting those rights in a long list of fights that erupted because of the Biden-pushed transgender ideology.

He worked to bolster women’s sports, which also was under attack because of the politicized transgender claims.

Also on the list were efforts to protect children from the “harmful procedures” of transgender beliefs, including the “chemical and surgical mutilation” harms embedded in that theology.

Restoring biological “truth” also was addressed, with an executive order affirming the two sex for humans, male and female.

Strengthening families also was a goal of multiple actions, including an order maximizing partnerships with Americans of faith to care for foster children, and several moves showing the value of life, and the harms from abortion.

Supporting mothers, strengthening the military, ending biased programs under the “diversity” agenda, honoring America’s faith legacy, and honoring religious days of remembrance also were listed.
