President Donald Trump humorously suggested his administration might disregard the separation of church and state during a National Day of Prayer speech at the White House, emphasizing a desire to 'bring religion back' to the country. This statement was made in the context of celebrating the establishment of a new White House Faith Office led by Paula White, which aims to empower faith-based entities and coordinate with various government agencies. Trump acknowledged that some advisors questioned the move due to concerns over church-state separation but dismissed them, suggesting that the presence of religious representation in government was beneficial. Additionally, Trump announced an executive order to create a task force dedicated to identifying and eradicating anti-Christian bias, seeking to end what he described as the 'anti-Christian weaponization of government.' These actions reflect a broader initiative by the administration to elevate religious considerations in government policy and operations.

President Donald Trump made remarks at the National Day of Prayer, humorously suggesting that his administration would 'forget about' the separation of church and state to 'bring religion back to our country.'

The establishment of a White House Faith Office, led by senior advisor Paula White, aims to empower faith-based organizations and coordinate with other agencies to support religious liberty and elevate grant opportunities.

Trump's advisors expressed concerns over the separation of church and state, but he dismissed these concerns, questioning the value of such a separation and welcoming religious presence in the White House.

An executive order was signed to create a task force aimed at identifying and eradicating anti-Christian bias, with the goal of ending the 'anti-Christian weaponization of government.'

The task force will comprise members of the president’s Cabinet and key government agencies, reflecting the administration's commitment to integrating religious perspectives into government policy.

The Faith Office will collaborate with the Department of Justice to identify constitutional protections for religious liberty and provide training to enhance these liberties.

These efforts are part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to prioritize religious considerations and support faith-based entities in serving communities and families effectively.
