Who Counts as Christian?

Donald Trump’s new task force to address anti-Christian bias reflects growing efforts to reintegrate religious figures into American society amidst a society increasingly dominated by secularism. However, critics argue that defining what constitutes “authentic Christian belief” is complex and shouldn’t be left to a government body, as it risks perpetuating harmful biases and diluting genuine faith principles. The task force’s creation also highlights broader debates about the role of religion in public life, with conservative Christians warning that such initiatives could exacerbate divisions within the faith community.
